Learning objectives
On completion of this course, students: – will know the geographical and demolinguistic status of Spanish and the essential aspects of the spread of this language in the world and in society; – will know the main grammatical and lexicographical works of the Spanish language and their fundamental characteristics; – will 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
It is compulsory to acquire at least level B1 (complete) linguistic competence before the exam, corresponding to 3 of the 9 teaching credits. Verification of linguistic competence is based on the certifications issued by the CLA (University Language Center) or by recognized certification bodies, such as the Instituto Cervantes (subject to the equivalence of the CLA included in the appropriate lists). As indicated in the Regulatory Vademecum for students of the Foreign Languages and Literature Area, the validity of the B1 language certification is three years from the date of achievement.
Program
The course aims to: a) offer an overview of the spread of the Spanish language and related problems b) provide the basic tools for the analysis of the main functioning mechanisms of current Spanish, according to a contrastive approach (Italian / Spanish ).
Main topics of the program: 1. The Spanish language in history, society and linguistic works 1.1. Geography of the Spanish language and Demolinguistics 1.2. Linguistic tools (an introduction to dictionaries and grammars) 2. Constituent elements of the Spanish language: from minimal units to morphosyntax During the lessons, teaching materials will be used which will form an integral part of the exam program. They will be made available on the Moodle teaching platform.
Bibliography
Didactic methods
Lectures in the classroom on the topics of the program.
Learning assessment procedures
Written test. The written test, lasting 60 minutes, consists of multiple choice, short answer and open answer questions. Some questions will require metalinguistic reflection and the ability to identify phenomena dealt with during the course and to propose examples of them. The exam will focus on the program carried out during the lessons, on the teaching materials and on the bibliography of the course. The exam questions will be formulated in Spanish, but as this is the 1st year exam, students will be able to answer the open questions in Italian. The use of the dictionary or other support tools will not be allowed.
The program, the bibliography and the examination methods are the same even for non-attending students, who will be able to use the recommended readings, indicated in the e-learning platform, to fill any gaps regarding the topics covered during the lessons.
Erasmus students should contact the teacher at the beginning of the lessons. A list of additional readings for the possible integration of 3 CFU will be published on the e-learning platform.
Evaluation criteria
The exam is aimed at ascertaining the breadth and depth of knowledge gained on the topics in the program, as well as the language properties, terminological precision and the ability to connect the acquired knowledge in a systemic form.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The final mark out of thirty will be obtained from the average between that of the written test (if equal to or greater than 18/30) and that of linguistic competence (converted into thirty based on the indications in the "Regulatory Vademecum for students of the Language Area and Foreign Literature "). The results will be communicated through ESSE3.
