Foreign language assistants
Foreign language assistants are figures available to students and teaching staff in all Schools at the university, each representing their own country of origin. They provide a range of services, including guidance on mobility opportunities abroad for studying and research, cooperation for language exams and support in the updating of teaching materials.
Foreign language assistants play a very important role in the cultural relations between Italy and the foreign countries in the University's internationalisation process. In addition to qualified teaching on the language and culture of their countries of origin, foreign language assistants promote the culture of their own countries, coordinating cultural and scientific initiatives including conferences, film events, research projects, seminars, exhibitions and translations of Italian authors. Through the active role of the language assistants, many of these initiatives are presided by foreign personalities or are organised in partnership with foreign institutions.
