0000166 - Hausa Literature I-M

The final exam consists of a written test and an oral test (passing the written test is a prerequisite for taking the oral exam). During the year, four (4) written evaluative tests are scheduled in preparation for the final exam, along with classroom exercises in reading, translation, and oral production to prepare for the final oral test. The final written test consists of the written translation of an essay from Hausa into Italian plus a brief comment in Hausa. The oral test includes: reading; translation and commentary in the Hausa language of texts in Hausa; discussion of theoretical and historical-cultural material assigned during the course. Erasmus students, if preferred, may use English instead of Italian. Evaluation criteria for the written tests: accuracy of the translation; correctness of morphological and syntactic structures and lexical choice in written productions in Hausa. Evaluation criteria for the oral tests: accuracy in pronunciation and grammatical analysis of readings; correct use of linguistic structures and terminology; linguistic competence at the required level in Hausa conversation. The final grade can range from 18/30 to 30/30 depending on the level of accuracy and completeness of the oral interview and the correct use of methodologies and theories as well as mastery of the Hausa language. The minimum passing grade (18/30) within the required level is assigned when the student demonstrates uncertain or partial mastery in applying the knowledge and methods studied and has a fragmented or limited knowledge to only the basic foundations of the various topics addressed. The student also demonstrates a minimal mastery of the Hausa language in the communicative skills required for the various levels. The maximum grade (30/30) within the required level is assigned when the student demonstrates complete and in-depth mastery in applying the theoretical knowledge and analytical methods studied, and is able to solve problems addressed critically and accurately. The student also demonstrates a high mastery of the Hausa language in the communicative skills required for the various levels. For the first level, this will be elementary, while for the intermediate and advanced levels it will allow the student to argue and present their theses confidently, consistent with an intermediate-advanced mastery of the Hausa language. Honors are awarded when the student demonstrates absolute mastery of theoretical and methodological content, the ability to correlate different topics addressed transversally, and is able to present the topics with remarkable expressive skills. Autonomy of judgment demonstrated in selecting alternative texts to those proposed by the teacher to deepen the topics analyzed is also evaluated.
