At the end of the course, students will:
- have acquired the reading and oral comprehension skills, as well as the writing and speaking skills of B2 level, and a metalinguistic knowledge of B2 level
- have become aware of the challenges posed by translation at the linguistic, textual, cultural and stylistic levels
- have acquired basic documentation skills to translate short texts both informative and specialized from Spanish into Italian

In order to access this class, students need to have oral and written comprehension and production skills corresponding to Level B1 of CEFR for Spanish. In order to sit the oral exam for this class, students must have passed the 2nd year exam of Spanish Language and Translation.

The course consists of: (a) classes held by the instructor(s); (b) practical sessions held by the lector(s).
The classes offered by the instructor(s) are both lectures (aimed at providing the necessary theoretical background) and seminars (with students' active participation).
The practical sessions with the lector(s) are highly interactive and are necessary to acquire the language skills needed to successfully complete the final exam.
For these reasons, attendance of both the instructors' and lectors' classes is strongly recommended.

SYLLABUS VALIDITY
The syllabus is valid for the whole 2022/2023 academic year (until the exam session of January/February 2024). For the final grade to be officially registered, students must have successfully completed all the parts of the exam by the last session of the 2022-2023 academic year.

NON-ATTENDING STUDENTS
The syllabus is the same for all students, whether attending or not: non-attending students will autonomously revise and practice the contents of the bibliography, possibly integrating it with the additional recommended reference material.
