Teaching Methods
THE COURSE IS STRUCTURED IN TWO TRACKS: PHILOLOGICAL-LITERARY AND HISTORICAL-LINGUISTIC. 30 HOURS ARE DEVOTED TO THE LITERARY ROUTE AND 30 HOURS TO THE HISTORICAL-LINGUISTIC ROUTE. EACH PATH INCLUDES A THEORETICAL AND A PRACTICAL PART.
Verification of learning
ATTAINMENT OF THE TEACHING OBJECTIVES IS CERTIFIED BY PASSING AN EXAMINATION WITH A GRADE IN THIRTIETHS. THE FINAL EXAM IS ORAL AND INVOLVES THE READING, TRANSLATION AND LINGUISTIC AND LITERARY COMMENTARY OF ONE OR MORE PASSAGES ANALYSED IN CLASS AND CHOSEN BY THE TEACHER. THE STARTING POINT IS THE TEXTUAL AND LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS OF A PASSAGE AND THEN A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF OTHER TEXTS, LITERARY GENRES AND CONTEMPORARY LINGUISTIC EXPRESSIONS.
IN ASSESSING BOTH THE WRITTEN AND ORAL EXAMS, THE FOLLOWING WILL BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT
-KNOWLEDGE OF THE SUBJECT MATTER
-ABILITY TO SUMMARISE AND EXPLAIN CLEARLY
-ABILITY TO ANALYSE THE TEXTS FROM A PHILOLOGICAL POINT OF VIEW, PLACING THEM IN A PRECISE HISTORICAL-LITERARY FRAMEWORK.
