MODULE 1 (Prof. Piccioni): The theoretical sessions will illustrate the main concepts developed within the fields of text linguistics and pragmatics (text functions, theory of speech acts, politeness theory) with a view to introducing the notions necessary for describing functional variation in texts.
In the practical sessions these theoretical concepts will be exploited in practical activities and exercises aimed at the analysis and composition of texts belonging to a number of (written and oral) genres typical of online communication.
MODULO 2 (Prof. Pomponio): introduction (both theoretical and applied) to the main concepts developed in the teaching of Spanish language, with particular attention to the following topics:
- The protagonists of the teaching / learning process;
- Preparation of the activities: programming, planning and evaluation;
- Development of didactic learning units
