Assessment Methods
Exam test
Written part in two days: 1) writing in language (3h) and 2) Italian-Spanish translation (3h), to test the advanced level of expressive skills.
In order to overcome the written part, the student must obtain at least 18/30 in both parts (otherwise he will have to re-present himself to the written exam in a subsequent appeal).
Oral part: The oral part, (a few days away): interview aimed at assessing comprehension / expression skills, according to the pre-established level, also starting from mandatory readings.
- In order to pass the examination, the student must achieve a minimum mark of 18/30 in both the written and oral sections. The final grade will be given by the average of the two parts (written and oral).- A written paper will be considered adequate if it presents: lexical richness, morphosyntactic variety and precision, grammatical correctness, according to the level indicated.- An oral paper will be considered adequate if the candidate demonstrates the ability to conduct a rich and fluent conversation on different and in-depth themes (including from readings/viewings), and shows, in addition to mastery of grammar, control of various expressive aspects of the language (non-standard registers and varieties, style, pragmatic aspects).

- Control of learning in itinere: checks in class and at home on the individual topics covered.
Self-study at the Language Center.
Compulsory practical work: research of an authentic text translated into Spanish, critical revision of the translation, analysis and classification of errors found and rewriting of the text in Spanish.
Careful reading of the volume by Pons Rodríguez indicated in the bibliography and oral presentation of a few chapters chosen at random.
Completion of both parts is necessary in order to sit the exam
Detailed Syllabus
Review of the Spanish grammar (syntax) with critical insights. Stylistic improvement of writing expression: language registers (and non-standard varieties), idiomatic expressions, collocations, modismos, refranes); exercises of composition in Spanish and translation from Italian to Spanish (and in reverse). Obligatory reading or viewing of films in original language, also in view of the oral exam.
