2/306 - SWEDISH LANGUAGE III

Expected learning outcomes:

• Second-year students should demonstrate a good command of the language (B1 level), in terms of both written and oral comprehension and production. They should also have a solid understanding of major translation theories and their applications, particularly in relation to the literary texts covered in class. They must be able to read and comprehend texts and translate them, identifying and analysing their narrative and formal strategies. They must also be able to analyse vocabulary informed by recent translation theories.
• Third-year students should demonstrate developed proficiency in all four Swedish language skills. This includes acquiring strong oral and written competence and mastering vocabulary, morphology, syntax and phonology in order to understand and produce fairly complex texts from various literary genres in both oral and written forms.

Ability to apply knowledge and understanding

• The aim of this course is to equip students with the knowledge and methodological tools necessary for the following activities: reading; textual analysis; and re-elaborating a general concept in a personalised way and applying it to a specific text or theme discussed in a work. Students must demonstrate their ability to understand and correctly communicate what they have learnt. They must also be able to re-elaborate the content they have learnt.

Further expected learning outcomes

• Autonomy of Judgement

By the end of the course, students must demonstrate their ability to communicate information and form judgements on the topics covered, as well as their understanding of the translation challenges posed by a Swedish literary text.

• Communication skills:

Students must be able to communicate information, ideas, problems and solutions effectively, demonstrating proficiency in Swedish at the required level. They must also be able to identify and re-elaborate information from complex Swedish texts and communicate it, expressing personal opinions on the themes discussed.

• Learning ability:

Students must understand the language structures that will enable them to continue their learning journey and demonstrate the ability to reflect independently on what they have learned. This will enable them to access more advanced levels subsequently.
