The programme

Learning outcomes

Partendo dalle competenze linguistiche già presenti nei professionisti/e, il corso si propone di fornire strumenti per la presentazione dell’azienda e la mediazione in ambito commerciale potenziando le competenze discorsive e pragmatiche della lingua spagnola, così come sviluppando le competenze digitali attraverso l’impiego di risorse per la gestione terminologica, quali ad esempio i corpora.
Il corso sarà strutturato in tre blocchi che convergeranno nella presentazione di un progetto finale, sviluppato in gruppo, che dimostrerà le competenze di gestione terminologica, presentazione in spagnolo e mediazione linguistica sulla base della simulazione di una situazione reale di presentazione aziendale. L’attività formativa si articolerà in quattro moduli:
1. Una prima parte dedicata agli strumenti informatici per il supporto terminologico, in cui saranno esplorate delle risorse digitali per la creazione e gestione dei corpora (monolingue e bilingue) e dei glossari, che serviranno per preparare un incarico di presentazione e mediazione in ambito aziendale (4 ore di lezione teorico-pratiche, in spagnolo, via Zoom).
2. Una seconda parte, in cui verranno trattati aspetti rilevanti del linguaggio economico e commerciale in spagnolo e verranno offerte strategie linguistiche per la presentazione delle aziende in spagnolo con una particolare attenzione alle dimensioni pragmatica e culturale, quali ad esempio le strategie di attenuazione (4 ore di lezione teorico-pratiche, in spagnolo, via Zoom).
3. Una terza parte, in cui si affronteranno questioni legate alla mediazione linguistica in ambito aziendale per lo sviluppo di competenze linguistiche e pragmatiche per la mediazione testuale, concettuale e comunicativa (4 ore di lezione teorico-pratiche, in spagnolo e italiano, in presenza).
4. Una ultima parte, in cui i partecipanti illustreranno in gruppi proposte di presentazione aziendale con una simulazione di mediazione, che inglobino le tematiche affrontate durante il corso (preparazione della presentazione attraverso la gestione terminologica, strategie di presentazione e di mediazione).La presentazione verrà accompagnata da una discussione nell’ottica della condivisione di buone pratiche (3 ore in presenza). Grazie alle modalità di apprendimento che alterneranno lezioni dialogate e interattive con attività di tipo collaborativo e un lavoro in gruppo finale, i partecipanti avranno l’opportunità di mettere in pratica le conoscenze acquisite e di rielaborarle in modo personale.

Professional profiles and employment and professional opportunities

1. Lavoratori nei diversi settori economici che hanno la necessità di interfacciarsi con partner, clienti o fornitori che parlano spagnolo.

2. Persone che desiderano vivere un'esperienza professionale in un Paese ispanofono o presso un'azienda in cui si parla spagnolo.

3. Persone inoccupate o disoccupate che intendono migliorare le proprie competenze in lingua spagnola e, di conseguenza, la propria qualificazione professionale, per facilitare l’accesso al mondo del lavoro.

Third-cycle degrees

PhD programmes: these courses enable students to gain reliable methodologies for advanced scientific research through innovative methodologies and new technologies, and generally include internships abroad and lab activities at research laboratories. Graduates wishing to apply for a PhD programme must have a Master’s degree (or a foreign equivalent qualification) and pass an open competition; PhD programmes have a minimum duration of three years. In order to complete the programme, students must produce a research thesis/dissertation and present it at a final examination.

Other useful things

Crediti Formativi Universitari (CFU/ECTS credits): Italian university courses are based on the CFU system. 1 CFU is equal to 25 hours of study. The average annual academic workload for a full-time student is generally assumed to be 60 CFU. CFU and ECTS credits serve the same purpose and generally have the same value.
Degree class: Bachelor's and Master's degree programmes that have the same learning objectives and activities are grouped into “degree classes". The educational content of each programme is set autonomously by each university; however, universities are required to include certain educational activities (and the corresponding number of CFU credits) set at the national level. These requirements are established in relation to each degree class. Degrees in the same class have the same legal value.
Double/Joint degrees: the Italian universities may establish degree programmes in partnership with other Italian or foreign universities. Upon completion of these courses, graduates are awarded a joint or double/multiple degree, one from each Partner University.
