Ha ragione Stefano Alessiani quando sul suo Stato di Facebook posta una lettera di protesta da parte di alcuni studenti stranieri ospiti per il programma di studio "Erasmus".
Scrive Alessiani " Studente Erasmus che ci racconta la sua esperienza Erasmus a Teramo....Razzismo, nessun corso universitario in inglese, se non conosci l'italiano è inutile seguire i corsi universitari, all'ufficio "Internazionale" nessuno parla inglese, manco i ragazzi gestori DELL'ESN (studenti volontari al servizio degli studenti stranieri) parlano inglese, perfino il corso di Inglese è in italiano! Etc etc etc complimenti all'università degli Studi di Teramo, davvero, complimenti!".
Ecco il documento.
Ovviamente in Iglese.
Per la traduzione potete chiamare il centralino di Unite.
" Hello everyone this is the letter of so many Erasmus students experinces at teramo University which We wrote to the Rector but we couldn't get any answer. Fine probably they dont understand english. Here you go..
Rector of University of TeramoProf. Luciano D’amico Dear Rector, We were Erasmus students in your University and we would like to share our problems and feelings about your University. We wished it would be a thankful letter after our education period in Teramo but unfortunately it is not … We were dreaming about living in Italy because we love Italian culture and we really wanted to learn your beautiful language. Unfortunately this whole experience at Teramo University was very disappointing. Time, that we spent there, was not good at all because people at the university were so rude and racist about the language and foreigners. The important thing is that Teramo University does not have any requirement about the level of Italian language for Erasmus students. In our opinion all of the students should speak Italian at minimum B2 level, without this level is impossible to take part in lectures and what is more pass the exams. On the university website there are a lot of courses in English but when we came here we figured out that they did not exist. Even our English courses were held in Italian! Starting from the beginning, it is unacceptable that in “International Office” nobody speaks English especially that at the begging of our exchange program our Italian is not that great. Some of us do not speak Italian at all! They had many problems with their documents and they had to find a person who is speaking English and Italian. Do you think it is fair? If we knew that we cannot survive here without Italian we would choose different university in Italy where English is not a problem. We wonder if it's a international office or a family company ? How those people got this job? Second thing is the ESN group. And again, nobody from this group speaks English. All of information at social media were in Italian and when we had meeting we asked for someone who can translate in English and one of the ESN crew told our friend: “If you are in Italy you have to speak Italian”. Our friend answered her “Excuse me, if you go to China do you speak Chinese?” That was so shamed that everybody laughed at her. What is more, we were really shocked that “Erasmus Welcome Day” which was organized by ESN crew and Prof. Giannini was in the middle of November… Don’t you think it's a little bit late for a “welcome event”? You can't do this before we leave.
Prof. Giannini also wasn't so nice when we were asking her to sign our papers. The important thing not only for Erasmus students but also for Italian students is Prof. Rosati and her behaviors. We decided to choose English courses and later we really regretted it. We would never think that with our English level we will have problems to pass the tests but we did not know that “English courses” will be held in Italian. Also to pass the exams you have to know Italian at the same level as English. Is it an English lesson or Italian? Because as prof. Rosati said “When you would like to have exam in English you should go to England. You decided to come to Italy so tests are in Italian”. If we are not in England why she calls herself an “English Teacher”? The worst thing is that Prof. Rosati is also an Erasmus department coordinator for most of us. She is always screaming at people if they ask anything. Don’t you think that Coordinator for foreign students should be the first person that can help us not who is the troublemaker? She is really unhappy person and tries to bring it into others lives. Teacher should be the person who we can be trusted and talked to without any hesitation not a person who we are afraid of. You should definitely change this army system in your university. Prof. Vaccarelli required us to come for her classes but it was pointless because we didn’t understand anything and she never asked us to be part of the course like for example reading the text in English. Why she wants us to come if she didn’t care about us at all. We would like to say that in the end we got really good results but it doesn’t change our feelings at all. We think that Prof. Vaccarelli is a nice person but sharing her office with Prof. Rossati it changes her personality too. Actually we understand why your students can't speak English because it's not easy to speak with her with any language. This is what Italian students think also. We met some beautiful people also for example Prof. Diodati she has been so nice and helpful and her English is much better than your English teachers.
And we would like to thank to our amazing Italian teachers Mrs. Sabrina and Roberta. They were so nice helpful and great about teaching. If those people weren't there we would be unlucky and helpless students. We will never forget them. They are kind warm and happy people maybe you should recommend to Prof. Rossati to go there and learn how to be nice to students and how to smile.
If your university don't like Erasmus student you should cancel your agreements with the universities. This letter written by most of your Erasmus students. We finished our study there (thanks heaven) but we won't let this things happen to other Erasmus students. And this letter will be sent to main international office and post on social media. We hope you could hear our voices and change this bad situation in your university .
Looking forward to hear from you. Erasmus Students Best regards

Anonimo, io parlo inglese dalle prime edizioni della Coppa Intermania come molti ragazzi di Teramo della mia Generazione.
