Spanish Linguistics and Spanish Language Training II.

See references for SPANISH LINGUISTICS A and SPANISH LANGUAGE TRAINING II.

On the theoretical level, the courses aim at providing students with a theoretical awareness in Spanish phonetics, phonology, morphology and morphosyntax. On a practical level, the aim is the acquisition of a competence in the Spanish language corresponding to CEFR B2 level.

Students must have passed the exam of SPANISH LANGUAGE TRAINING of the 1st year. It is also recommended that they have passed the exam of GENERAL LINGUISTICS (1st year). A solid knowledge of linguistic and grammatical analysis of Italian is also required.

Lectures and seminars. Workshops and language laboratories.

Students with physical disabilities, Learning Disabilities or Special Education Needs can request specific services and tools via the Staff Sviluppo e Coordinamento Carriere e Servizi alle Studentesse e agli Studenti, consulting the University webpage: https://www.uniupo.it/en/services/services-students-physical-or-learning-disabilities. Students with disabilities, learning disabilities or special education needs, once they have contacted the University Staff, can refer to the tutor in charge of the course to define the examination modalities, concerning academic aspects.

Written and oral tests (see more details and evaluation criteria in the relative syllabi). The overall evaluation will take into account the two partial courses. Since this is an exam that closely integrates the two partial modules, the final evaluation will correspond to the average between the evaluations of the single parts. Please note: to pass the exam, students must reach the minimum grade (18/30) in all its parts.

Synchronic, diachronic and diatopic analysis of Spanish phonetics, phonology and morphosyntax, also from a contrastive perspective (with Italian). Standard language, dialectal varieties, socio- and historical-linguistic issues. Spanish grammar, oral and written comprehension and production. For details, see the programs of the two modules.

Knowledge, skills and abilities related to the two modules are integrated both on a theoretical and a practical level: 1) knowledge about Spanish phonetics, phonology, morphosyntax; 2) knowledge of word formation processes in Spanish and the fundamentals of Spanish inflectional and derivational morphology; 3) ability to identify and justify, using the appropriate linguistic terminology, specific grammatical phenomena of standard Spanish and its varieties; 4) ability to apply theoretical skills in practical use, producing both written and oral texts that are correct from the grammatical point of view and in the use of communication strategies.
