Full-time form

Successful completion of the cycle of theoretical and practical vocational training modules, including ‘Italian language’, ‘Italian Linguistic and Cultural Studies’, ‘Introduction to Romance Philology’ and ‘Theoretical Phonetics’.

The objective of the course is to develop and provide students with knowledge of the main patterns of the development off the Italian language,the periods of its history, its general historical, sociolinguistic and linguocultural characteristics, as well as the features of the phonetic, grammatical, and lexical structure of the Italian language at various stages of its development, and the main trends in the development of the Italian language. The course is included in the list of compulsory courses and is taught in the 4th semester of the Bachelor’s programme. Its subject matter is the study of the formation and development of the main systemic characteristics of the Italian language and the complex of linguistic and extra-linguistic factors that determine this development, from a diachronic perspective. The course aims to equip students with the theoretical foundations that explain the main patterns of development of the Italian language, and to enable them to acquire practical skills in understanding and analysing linguistic material from different periods in the history of the Italian language.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods include lectures, practical classes, and students’ independent work. Lectures are aimed at developing a systematic understanding of the main stages in the evolution of the Italian language, including its phonetic, lexical, and grammatical changes in a diachronic perspective. Practical classes involve the analysis of historical linguistic phenomena, work with authentic texts from different periods, and tasks focused on diachronic and comparative analysis, as well as discussions of language development in its cultural and historical context. Independent work includes the study of theoretical materials, preparation for classes, completion of analytical tasks, work with academic sources and historical texts, and the preparation of individual reports or presentations.

Throughout the semester, following lectures on the relevant topics, practical sessions are held during which assessment takes place in accordance with the types of work and forms of assessment described in section 7.1 of the Course Syllabus. The course concludes with an examination. The final semester mark is composed of the marks obtained by the student during the completion of the specified types and forms of assessment and those obtained in the examination. The maximum weighting is allocated as follows: 60 marks (60%) – semester assessment and 40 marks (40%) – examination. If a student scores fewer than 24 marks in the exam (i.e. 60% of the 40 marks allocated to the exam), these marks are not added to the semester mark regardless of the number of marks obtained during the semester, and the examination record will show only the number of marks obtained during the semester in the ‘final mark for the subject’ column
