Corso di laurea magistrale in
Lingue dell'Asia e dell'Africa
per la comunicazione e la cooperazione internazionale

To fulfil the targets of the Master's degree Course, these classes aim to:
- interest the students, strengthening their motivation to learn the language better and to understand its diachronic development connected with its political background and the influence of politics in literary production, from the PRC's birth to the beginning of the Cultural Revolution.

- Make students feel engaged in their learning process and stimulate them to actively exchange knowledge, suggestions, and experiences within the language learning process; exercises to be completed through group work on topics chosen by the teacher or suggested by the students following the contents of the course programme together with a peers evaluation of the final results will encourage healthy competition and aim to strengthen the critical capacity of those students who are particularly shy and reluctant to actively participate into any discussion, also improving their language and skills;
- Improve understanding of the text, placing it in a meta-textual and inter-textual context;
- Guide students to the critical use of automatic translation.

Students will be able to read and critically evaluate a text with literary, political or social contents produced during the so-called 17 years, developing the capacity to root the texts into its social context and mastering the specific “revolutionary” terminology of the period and its Italian translation.

The teacher will provide face-to-face classes. Each lesson lasts two hours. The overall duration of the course is  36 hours. Whenever face-to-face classes prove impossible, the teacher will provide detailed information. Recorded lectures will not be available. We strongly advise students to attend the course to achieve the target language level.
