Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2018-19

La lengua italiana se ha consolidado como lengua de cultura, tras ocho siglos de vida, y no puede olvidarse su presencia como lengua funcional en el mundo económico -gracias a la expansión económica internacional del país- y en la política, especialmente en el ámbito globalizador de Europa. Al italiano se asocian imágenes como la del turista extranjero relacionado con el patrimonio cultural o como centro del mundo católico. Innegable también el peso que le infunde contarse entre las primeras diez naciones más industrializadas del mundo.
Además de ser lengua oficial de uso obligatorio e instruccional en el territorio italiano, es hablada también en el Estado Vaticano, San Marino, Cantón Ticino, Venezia Giulia, Eslovenia.
Estudio de la lengua D (tercer idioma moderno) centrado en alcanzar la competencia comunicativa oral y escrita, descritas para el nivel A2.
Se entienden referidas a la comprensión y a la expresión sobre aspectos gramaticales, sociolingüísticos, pragmáticos y culturales acordes a su nivel.
