The aim of this course is to enable students to improve and deepen their knowledge of the grammar, syntax, lexicon and morphology of the Italian language in order to reach a C1 level of receptive skills as well as a B2/B2+ level of productive skills of the Italian language in its spoken and written dimensions. It also aims to familiarise students with the very complex Italian linguistic reality, both from a socio-linguistic and historical point of view. The students are introduced to the working tools of an Italianist, in order to master the methodological bases indispensable for a possible deepening in the second cycle. At the end of the year, students will also have acquired a solid knowledge of Italian culture and literature, through exercises and several readings of contemporary literature.
At the end of the course, the student should be able to - understand factual and fictional texts (written and oral) - produce coherent and sophisticated texts on a variety of topics - in terms of oral production, communicate coherently and argumentatively in tasks requiring a direct exchange of information on a variety of topics. - identify and explain syntactic phenomena, particularly through the reading of literary texts - to know the Italian linguistic reality from a socio-linguistic and historical point of view, to master the working tools of an Italianist and the methodological bases indispensable for a possible deepening.
