Learning outcomes
The aim of the module is to develop students’ ability to critically observe the use of language in specific communicative settings through an introduction to the discipline of discourse analysis. Adopting a critical discourse analysis approach, the main features and communication strategies of argumentative/persuasive texts will be investigated, with a special focus on linguistic choices. Specifically, the main rhetorical-discursive features of the language of politics, advertising, and journalism will be analysed. At the end of the module, students will be able to apply methods and contents typical of critical discourse analysis to examine and interpret with a higher degree of critical awareness linguistic and communication strategies adopted in the production of different texts belonging to different genres.
Program
The second Module will deal with the following topics:
1. The notion of “discourse”:
- formalist approach
- functionalist approach
2. The notion of “genre”
3. Multimodal discourse
4. Peruasive discourse
5. Critical discourse analysis as a methodological approach to analyse communication strategies in persuasive discourse
6. The use of rhetoric and representational strategies in persuasive discourse
7. Distinctive features of political discourse, with a focus on political speeches
8. Distinctive features of advertising discourse, with a focus on advertisements
9. Distinctive features of journalistic discourse, with a focus on news reports and editorials

Examination Methods
PREREQUISITE: Students must have obtained a B2-level certificate of proficiency in English to be allowed to sit the exam.
The exam will be in English, it will be written, and will refer to BOTH modules. The exam paper will include open-ended and multiple choice questions, as well as practical exercises. It will be divided into two parts, one for the first module, and the other for the second. Before the end of the course, a mock exam will be uploaded on Moodle. The mock exam will also be carried out and corrected during the last class. The exam is designed to assess both the knowledge and understanding of the theoretical contents of both modules, and the ability to apply the theoretical knowledge acquired to concrete situations of language in use.
The final exam is the same for both attendees and non-attendees.
