Program
PROGRAMME
The course will provide specific competences in order to make students able to write texts in Italian in a proper way.
The course is divided in two parts. The first one will be devoted to the main textual typologies that a University student has to deal with in his academic career. It will focus in particular on:
1. the newspaper article:
- the kinds of articles (report, editorial, review, etc…);
- the structure of the article;
- the language employed by journalists;
2. the academic essay:
- the structure of an academic essay;
- the use of sources and the bibliography;
- the footnotes;
3. the dissertation:
- the bibliographic research and the quotation system;
- the footnotes;
- the table of contents;
- the final bibliography’s compilation.
The second part of the course will be devoted to the short story and the novel, identifying the characteristics of the two genres and focusing on relevant narratological principles (author vs narrator; types of narrator; the focalization; etc…).
TEACHING METHODS
Taught classes. Analysis of meaningful examples of newspaper articles, academic essays, short stories and excerpts from novels written by contemporary writers.
The Moodle will be used to provide students with further teaching materials.

Final mark: approved/not approved.
