Teaching Methods
Evaluation methods Verification of learning:
The English language exam for the undergraduate programme in Cultural Heritage consists of a CEFR B1 language assessment. The exam is oral: after presenting one (or some) of the reading texts included in the syllabus, students will be asked questions to assess their B1 speaking competences. Questions may also focus on the linguistic and lexical aspects of the texts included in the syllabus. Students who demonstrate the required language skills will receive a "pass" mark.

Students may take both the LABORATORIO DI LINGUA INGLESE and the IDONEITÀ DI LINGUA INGLESE as part of their undergraduate programme. Students are invited to check the syllabus of both exams as they have different goals and reading lists.
