Learning Objectives
The course has the aim of developing students' linguistic and metalinguistic knowledge through a combination of stylistic analysis and translation.
Program
The course combines translation studies and textual analysis. The presentation and close reading of texts is followed by their translation, which is to be created by a collective effort (whenever possible). The students' translational activities will be evaluated non only in themseves, but also as a further methodology for understanding texts.
Learning Achievements (Dublin Descriptors)
The students must eventually learn to analyze various English text-types.
Teaching Material
The teaching material prepared by the lecturer in addition to recommended textbooks (such as for instance slides, lecture notes, exercises, bibliography) and communications from the lecturer specific to the course can be found inside the Moodle platform › blended.uniurb.it
