The Degree Program Board is a decision-making body for all matters and activities pertaining to the Degree Program and operates in accordance with the University's Teaching Regulations. It is composed of all teaching staff assigned teaching duties within the Degree Program or coordinated Degree Program. The Council also includes student representatives equal to 15% of the number of teaching staff.
The following members participate in the Council with voting rights: tenured professors; fixed-term and permanent researchers; student representatives.

The relevant administrative offices for the degree programme in Linguistic, Literary and Translation Studies are:
- The Academic Office of the SEAI Department: segreteriadidattica.seai@uniroma1.it
- The Administrative Office of the Faculty of Arts and Philosophy: segrstudenti.filesuso@uniroma1.it

The single-curriculum programme is structured around a first year in which language learning is deepened through compulsory language teaching and the literature of specific areas is studied, including through an interdisciplinary approach and the integration of compulsory critical methodology teaching. Two compulsory courses are dedicated to linguistics and the relationship between the Italian and English Renaissance. Other optional groups qualify the first year: the first includes two courses that already lead to a distinct specialisation in English or American literature; the second includes, in particular, the history of the English language, language teaching and a course focused on Anglo-American literary relations in the 20th century. The “Related and supplementary” section includes courses that complement the first-year choices and allow for the articulation of specific study plans.
In the second year, an additional compulsory course completes the language learning, while an optional group focused on literature allows students to choose either one of the 12-credit courses, completing their specialisation in English or American literature, or two 6-credit courses.
The degree programme develops knowledge and understanding through the courses and modules offered; through lectures and seminars; through practical oral and written language exercises and workshops. Assessment will be based on classroom interaction, close teacher-student relationships during practical exercises and seminars, ongoing written tests and assessments, and final oral and written examinations.

The degree programme defines and monitors the final assessment methods for the courses included in its curriculum. The assessment of the knowledge and skills acquired in class and through individual study takes place, using the assessment methods indicated in the individual course descriptions entered into the GOMP system at the beginning of the year, through written or oral tests, or a combination of both. Each individual course may also include intermediate assessments, which are communicated at the beginning of the academic year through institutional information channels. Intermediate assessments are frequent and recommended for 12-credit courses, especially those delivered throughout the year. As regards language courses, which are structured in teaching modules and exercises coordinated by CELs, intermediate assessments are agreed at the beginning of the academic year and communicated through institutional channels. The calendar of final language exams, written and oral, is established by mutual agreement with the other language courses (L11 and LM37) at the beginning of the academic year and communicated through institutional websites (course websites, SEAI Department website). Intermediate and final assessments for language courses are developed on the basis of the guidelines contained in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Consequently, the methods adopted have the primary objective of verifying that the expected levels of knowledge for the specific year of the course have been achieved.

REGULATIONS FOR THE COURSE OF STUDY IN English and Anglo-American Studies
- Class LM-37

Art. 1 – THE COURSE OF STUDY

The course of study in English and Anglo-American Studies is a master's degree course within the LM-37 degree class, governed by the University's Teaching Regulations in accordance with the law, ministerial provisions and statutory directives.

Art. 2 – EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES

The Degree Programme is structured as a single curriculum, which aims to provide specialisation in the linguistic, literary and cultural areas of Europe and the Americas, accompanied by written and oral proficiency in the English language.
The programme is complemented by a range of methodological disciplines that include specific teaching methods for English, comparative literature, linguistic disciplines, literary theory and Italian literature, offering students numerous opportunities for historical and cultural study.
Graduates must demonstrate: a solid linguistic and metalinguistic preparation in the English language; the ability to contextualise and analyse literary texts on a formal level; the ability to argue a thesis; an in-depth, historically grounded knowledge of the culture and society related to the language studied; a methodologically grounded knowledge of the major linguistic, historical-literary, theoretical-literary, and intercultural issues.
Graduates must also achieve level C2.1 in written and oral English according to the CEFR.

The expected duration is two years.
To obtain the degree, students must have acquired 120 credits (CFU).
In addition to compulsory subjects, the degree programme offers students a range of optional subjects organised into subject groups, allowing them to tailor their study plans to suit their individual interests and specialisations.

2.1 Description of the curriculum and educational activities

The degree programme is structured around a single curriculum. The curriculum includes the study of English until students achieve a C2.1 level of linguistic and communicative competence according to the CEFR, as well as in-depth knowledge of the relevant cultural heritage and the tools of understanding and analysis that this requires (texts and their semiotic mechanisms, literary history, social history, history of ideas).
The curriculum is defined in the degree programme manifesto, available on the programme website. It is divided into 12 exams in core subject areas, both compulsory and optional. A total of 12 credits are assigned to related and complementary subjects.
In addition to these, there are internships and other training activities (6 credits) and the final exam (24 credits). The total credits awarded for language study also include exercises with language experts (CEL), as indicated in the course programmes.
For the structure of the courses, the specific educational objectives of the courses, the relative credits and the hours of classroom teaching for each course, please refer to the Educational Offer published annually on the Degree Programme page.
All courses follow a conventional teaching method (lecture-based teaching).

2.2 Internships and other training activities

Students must earn 6 credits in Internships and Other Training Activities through activities proposed by the degree programme or other activities proposed by students, subject to prior approval by the Internship Coordinator, if relevant to the degree programme.

2.3 Prerequisites for scientific-disciplinary sectors (SSD) and course deadlines.

As provided for in the University's Teaching Regulations and Student Regulations published on the University website, examinations are held in the three ordinary sessions indicated in the teaching calendar of the Faculty of Arts and Philosophy, which must include a minimum of five ordinary examination sessions for each academic year plus two extraordinary sessions.
Some examinations are prerequisite: that is, certain examinations must be taken before others. The second year of any course cannot be taken before the first year. Credits obtained without complying with the prerequisites will be cancelled. With specific reference to the SSD “Language and Translation”, the following should be noted:
- The teaching of ‘Language and Translation’ for each academic year consists of: modules (lectures given by the teachers responsible for the course); exercises (held by Collaborators and Language Experts, CEL); activities carried out in the language laboratory and in text analysis and translation laboratories;
- The combination of modules (lectures), lasting one semester or one year, exercises, lasting one year, and activities in and of the laboratory, must precede the exam: therefore, the first session available for language exams is the summer session, i.e. what is normally referred to as the ‘second session’; ongoing assessments may also be scheduled for each of the activities;
- Language teachers' examinations are supplemented by tests relating to the exercises carried out with CELs. The tests are not graded on a scale of 30, and it is up to the teacher to give the final exam mark, taking into account the results of the language teaching. The mark thus determined will be recorded on Infostud by the teacher. The tests relating to the exercises with the CELs are valid for a certain number of sessions, and in any case for no less than one academic year. The English language section is required to announce the period of validity of the tests, as well as any specific rules.

2.4 – Study plan
The STUDY PLAN (PdS), which is approved by the lecturers appointed by the Course Council, represents the proposed course of study that the student intends to follow in order to obtain their degree.
Students enrolled in the first year must complete the Study Plan via the Infostud system by the date indicated by the Course, in accordance with the rules indicated above.
Any changes to the study plan may be made during the periods indicated by the Faculty each year.
Failure to submit and obtain approval of the Study Plan will result in the inability to take exams.

The interview may be conducted via web link.

2.6
Transfers from other degree programmes and transferable credits

The technical procedures for any transfer from other degree programmes are governed by the university's study programme manifesto for the current academic year.
With regard to the transfer of students from another degree programme or faculty, the English and Anglo-American Studies degree programme ensures that as many of the credits already earned by the student as possible are recognised. Credits (CFU) may be recognised if they have been earned in the same Scientific Sector (SSD) or, where applicable, in SSDs that can be considered equivalent in the educational path.
In particular, for transfers to the second year, students are required to have passed at least 48 CFU in the exams required for English and Anglo-American Studies.
If the transfer is made between degree programmes belonging to the same class, the number of credits relating to the same scientific-disciplinary sector directly recognised to the student cannot be less than 50% of those already earned. If the original course is delivered remotely, the minimum quota of 50% is only recognised if the original course is accredited in accordance with the ministerial regulation referred to in Article 2, paragraph 148, of Decree-Law No. 262 of 3 October 2006, converted by Law No. 286 of 24 November 2006.
If the transfer is from a foreign university, the course council, after a preliminary assessment by the President, shall evaluate which SSDs and how many credits can be recognised.
The degree course may recognise CFUs for experience and skills gained in work and professional activities. These credits shall count towards the 6 CFUs relating to Other Educational Activities.

2.7
Enrolment in the course as a second degree

For the purposes of shortening the degree programme, if there are exams in the same subject area and with the same number of credits, students with no fewer than 36 credits may enrol in the second year.
Credits earned by graduates from other classes may be recognised, ensuring that as many credits as possible are recognised, including, where necessary, through interviews to verify the knowledge actually possessed.
2.8
Teaching support - subject experts and tutoring

The course teaching may avail itself of the collaboration of subject experts. The title of subject expert is awarded by the board upon the recommendation of the course lecturers and is valid for two years.
PhD holders and independent scholars who have published at least two essays (articles or book chapters) in the relevant discipline are eligible for the title.
CELs may supervise theses as co-supervisors following their appointment as subject experts.

The degree programme also provides its students with a tutoring service. This service, which is organised annually by the Degree Programme Council, makes use of specially appointed lecturers and tutors
whose names are published each year on the website and on the degree programme notice board. The aim of the service is to provide advice on the development of study plans; in particular, tutors must approve study plans; promote student participation in national and international exchange or mobility programmes; provide cultural and professional guidance to students, informing them about training opportunities offered by both the university and public and private institutions; direct students to appropriate support structures to overcome any difficulties or situations of psychological distress.
At the beginning of each academic year, all useful information for students is made available on the Degree Programme page or other communication channels, relating in particular to: timetables and calendars for lectures and tutorials, lecturers' office hours, guidance and tutoring activities, academic administration services, accessibility of the campus, enrolment and registration, transfers, course abbreviations, study plans, and student representatives.

2.9
Final examination

In order to be admitted to the final examination, which leads to the acquisition of 24 credits, students must have obtained 96 credits. The final examination consists of the preparation and discussion, before a special committee, of a dissertation agreed upon with a supervisor. This will be an original work in English, accompanied by a critical apparatus and bibliographical notes; it must demonstrate the candidate's independent judgement and ability to use the methodologies learned during the course in the fields of metalinguistic, historical-literary and intercultural research. Lecturers in the fields ANGL-01/A (L-LIN/10), ANGL-01/B (L-LIN/11), ANGL-01/C (L-LIN/12) may be chosen as supervisors or co-supervisors; However, they must always be co-supervisors if the student wishes to graduate in other fields, and the thesis topic must be related to language or specialised literature. If the student graduates in a discipline other than those included in the above-mentioned SSDs, explicit authorisation from a professor in that discipline is required.
All information regarding the procedures and deadlines for submitting applications can be found on the Faculty of Arts and Philosophy website.
The thesis defence will take place in public on the dates indicated by the degree programme at least ten days before the event. For organisational reasons, the degree examination will take place in front of the Commissions in public, i.e. at a place, date, time and in a manner announced in advance and in the presence of other students, but with limited attendance by the external public (friends or family members).
The commissions are composed of the supervisors and co-supervisors, and may be supplemented by other lecturers. The minimum number of members is seven. The discussion will be held in English.
The assessment of the presentation in English will contribute to the final mark.
At the end of each candidate's discussion, the committee will meet to decide on the degree mark, and then proceed to formally award the degree and mark by proclamation.
The Commission awards a maximum total score of 7 points to the submitted paper and the discussion.
