Oucomes
The aim of this course is to increase knowledge of digital discourse for promotional purposes. We will do so by analyzing online articles, reviews, adverts in current promotional topics. We will work on reading comprehension, understanding the Theory of English for specific purposes and the underlying digital discourse theory that is driving intertextuality, lexicon, e-grammar. The sources of those topics will include various promotional websites and related apps as well as offline use of Netspeak for international promotional purposes and dedicated online and offline magazines such as the Economist and the Times.

1. English for Specific purposes and the case of English for promotional purposes
2. English for a Global Market in the Internet context: websites, apps, Netspeak
3. word frequency, word length, multiple language and specific reference words in online/off line menus and their correlation with price and social class
4. Intertextuality and interdiscursivity in online consumers’ reviews: Yelp, Trip Advisor, Epicurious.
5. Intertextuality, topicality and repetition as discourse coherence: hashtags and retweets
6. Interdiscursivity as a common feature in digital modes of interactions: genre-mixing and intertextual relationship with other genres in promotional texts
7. References, indexes, interdiscourse (conventions of discourses) in commercial products advertisements
8. Digital discourse and linguistic landscape research: lol speak in advertisements and billboards

Stage e tirocini
Nel piano didattico della laurea magistrale in Lingue per la comunicazione turistica e commerciale (LM38) è previsto un periodo di stage/project work (CFU 9).Le attività di stage sono finalizzate a far acquisire allo studente una conoscenza diretta in settori di particolare utilità per l’inserimento nel mondo del lavoro e per l’acquisizione di abilità specifiche d’interesse professionale. Tali attività possono essere svolte in aziende nazionali ed estere che operano nel settore del turismo e che presentano sbocchi di mercato internazionali, accreditate presso l’Ateneo Veronese, nonché presso Enti della Pubblica Amministrazione, Laboratori e Centri di Servizi pubblici (sono da intendersi in questo novero anche i Centri di Servizio ed i Laboratori che fanno capo all’Ateneo). Tali attività possono svolgersi anche nel contesto di project work organizzati sotto la diretta responsabilità di un docente o di un esperto del settore incaricato dal Collegio Didattico.
I crediti maturati in seguito ad attività di stage saranno attribuiti secondo quanto disposto nel dettaglio dal “Regolamento d’Ateneo per il riconoscimento dei crediti maturati negli stage universitari” vigente.
Tutte le informazioni in merito agli stage sono reperibili al link https://www.univr.it/it/i-nostri-servizi/stage-e-tirocini.
