Learning objectives
The course aims to introduce the language and communicative dynamics of international political discourse with particular reference to anglophone contexts through the theoretical lens of Critical Discourse Analysis.
By the end of the course, students will be aware of the discursive strategies of political discourse, both verbal and non-verbal, and will be able to use contents and methodologies helpful in analysing the linguistic context at every level and critically analysing different types of political texts.
Students should also acquire linguistic competence in English at a B2 level according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

Linguistic competence certificates (both internal and external) obtained starting from October 1, 2024 will be valid for 3 year, as indicated in the Vademecum for students of the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures
