The lectures, held entirely in Spanish, will be dedicated to theoretical-methodological aspects and questions of translation practice. Some lessons will be reserved for the analysis and revision of translations of tourist and commercial texts proposed by attending students. Teaching support methods: The supplementary and support teaching materials will be uploaded to the learning Moodle platform. Furthermore, a specific tutoring service will be activated to teach Spanish Language 1, the methods of which will be illustrated in lessons and the learning Moodle platform.

The assessment of learning outcomes includes:
– For students who will participate in the lessons, an ongoing evaluation and a written test, lasting 45 minutes and in Spanish, during the exam sessions, consisting of open-ended questions on the bibliography provided for those attending and on the topics explained in the lesson.
– For non-attending students, a written test, lasting 1 hour and 30 minutes and in Spanish, during the exam sessions, consisting of open-ended questions on the bibliography provided for non-attending students and on the materials uploaded in Moodle, as well as from practical questions (textual analysis and translations of parts of the texts published in Moodle).
Erasmus students are invited to contact the teachers.
