The purpose of our Workshops is to offer students the possibility of integrating the competences they have acquired in their academic career with practical activities, where to apply theories and methodologies to the handling of authentic material.
Attendance to Workshop activities is mandatory (you may not miss more than 20% of the scheduled activities), and active participation is expected.
Registration (2025-2026) is open from October 10 to 25 by filling out the appropriate form (accessible by clicking here).
NB:
Students are asked NOT to write to the workshop coordinator to verify their registration, but to wait to be contacted by the teachers responsible for the chosen workshop. All students will be contacted in due time.
Only the chosen language/literature should be indicated on the translation workshop registration form, NOT the name of the teacher responsible for the workshop.
Once the registration deadline has passed, groups will be formed and, in due course, students will receive the necessary information about the activities from the teachers responsible for the individual workshops.
At the end of the workshop, the workshop coordinator sends the list of eligible students to the ISLLI Student Services; this list is also published on this page (see below) and is then forwarded to the General Student Services to proceed with the registration of the credits acquired.
The workshop will be based on the following text:
Durant, Alan, and Nigel Fabb. How to Write Essays and Dissertations: A Guide for English Literature Students, Taylor & Francis Group, 2005.
ProQuest Ebook Central, https://ebookcentral-proquest-com.unibg.idm.oclc.org/lib/unibg-ebooks/de.... This is a useful essay available as an ebook in our library.
The book develops its argument through a series of chapters that summarize the stages of reflection proposed in this workshop. Each of these chapters will be covered and students will be invited to produce texts for collective discussion, with the aim of finding the most suitable strategies for enhancing the structure and impact of their thesis.
The workshop is aimed at international students. The maximum number of participants for this workshop is 20.
The workshop will be held in English.
Period: first semester

Elements of Western Culture
The workshop will be conducted entirely in English and is designed specifically for non-Italian-speaking students. It aims to illustrate the meaning and scope of certain concepts that are common and relatively transparent in Western culture (European and Pan-American), but not always immediately understandable to those from different cultures.
Students will be asked to complete assignments related to the workshop topics, such as presenting a concept that is relevant in their culture of origin but not accessible outside that context.
Period: March-May
Compulsory attendance
Prerequisite: proficiency in English (C1)
