A written test for the Theoretical Module and a written and oral test for Lettorato.
Theoretical module: the written test consists of three parts: the first part contains true or false and closed-ended questions that assess familiarity with the basic concepts of the module; the second part contains open-ended questions on the application of theory to linguistic analysis; the third part assesses the self-study of the texts included in the bibliography with open-ended questions requiring longer answers.
Lettorato: the written test assesses B2 CEFR skills and basic translation skills by means of exercises and a composition. The oral part assesses oral skills and familiarity with the course cultural contents.
