Contenuti dell'insegnamento

<p><br />
The course proposes to examine the various strategies and techniques in media talk with a view to identifying the pragmatic objectives of the participants in the interaction. These will emerge from a close analysis of discourse addressed to the reader/audience. Radio and TV interviews with politicians, experts and celebrities from the world of entertainment will be compared as well as speeches made during political campaigns, press conferences, etc. Such an analysis will lead to a discussion of ideology that emerges from a "reading between the lines". </p>
<p>The students will attend practical language classes with language assistants throughout the year.</p>
<p>Students must also complete a course of self-study in the Multimedia Laboratory.</p>
