Learning objectives
On completion of this course, students: – should know the geographical and demolinguistic status of Spanish and the essential aspects of the spread of this language in the world and in society; – should know the main grammatical and lexicographical works of the Spanish language and their fundamental characteristics; – should know the essential aspects of the phoneme / grapheme relationship, of the vocabulary and of the morphosyntactic structures of Spanish and will be able to apply them in the analysis of texts. Furthermore, B1 language level of competence in Spanish (according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages) is also required.
Prerequisites and basic notions
“Saperi minimi” (“minimum knowledge”): Spanish A2.
Spanish proficiency level B1 (or higher) is a prerequisite for sitting the final exam; it corresponds to 3 out of 9 CFU awarded by this course.
Proficiency level validation is based on certificates issued by the Centro Linguistico di Ateneo (CLA) or by Instituto Cervantes (the DELE certificate must be validated by CLA and published in the appropriate list) and it is a requirement for the exam with the lecturer for “Lingua spagnola 1”.
B1 certificates obtained after 1st October 2024 are valid for two years.
Program
The module will offer an overview of the spread of the Spanish language and related issues; it will also provide the basic tools for analysing the main mechanisms of current Spanish, according to a contrastive (Italian/Spanish) approach.
Main topics:
– The Spanish-speaking world: expansion, geography and demolinguistics of Spanish;
– Linguistic tools: an introduction to Spanish dictionaries and grammars;
– Constituent elements of the Spanish language, with a contrastive approach to Italian: from minimum units to morphosyntax.
The teaching materials used during the course form an integral part of the examination programme for attending students. They will be made available on the course’s Moodle platform.
For those students who do not attend the lessons on a continuous basis, the preparation of the programme will be done through the bibliography for non-attending students and the teaching materials for non-attending students made available in Moodle.

Methods of teaching support:
Guidelines and teaching materials will be uploaded in the Moodle platform of the module.

Moreover, the lecturer is available during his office hours, which can also be arranged via ZOOM if necessary.
Finally, specific support and tutoring activities are available for inclusion and accessibility, with regard to the Language/Literature courses. More information will be available on the Department's webpage.
Learning assessment procedures
A 60-minute test will be administered in Spanish, but as it is the 1st year exam, students may answer in Italian. It will consist of ‘open-ended’ questions, short-answer and multiple-choice questions and exercises. Some questions will require metalinguistic reflection and the ability to identify linguistic phenomena, as well as to propose examples of the same.
Subjects to be tested:
(a) For students who attend the lectures continuously, the test will focus on the aspects covered during the course, the teaching materials, and the bibliography for attending students.
b) For all others, the test will focus on the bibliography and teaching materials for non-attending students (see also Moodle platform).
All students, and in particular non-attending students, are invited to submit their doubts to the lecturers during office hours.
Erasmus students should contact the coordinator of the module at the beginning of the course for clarification.
The programme indicated in the syllabus will be valid for examination purposes until the Winter session 2026 (Jan/Feb) included.
Evaluation criteria
Breadth and depth of knowledge gained on the topics and the compulsory bibliography; language property and terminological precision; ability to connect acquired knowledge in a systemic form.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The final mark in thirtieths will be obtained from the arithmetic mean between the mark in the written test, which must in any case be equal to or higher than 18/30, and the language proficiency mark (converted into thirtieths according to the indications in the "Vademecum for students of Foreign Languages and Literature"). The results will be communicated to those enrolled in the test via the ESSE3 platform.
