Content
This course aims at developing the following skills
- simultaneous processing of visual and auditory information;
- cross-linguistic and cross-modal transfer (from written to oral).
The emphasis in the course is on 1) the speed and quality of understanding (nonsense, false meanings and counter-meanings; extraction of relevant information; argumentative moves); 2) the fluency of rendering (pauses, false starts and restarts) and the quality of the target language (syntactic correction, calques, interferences, pragmatic adequacy, lexical variety).
