This chapter explores students' expectations and perceptions in a law programme - "Studying Law at Roma Tre" - taught in English at Roma Tre University. Studying Law at Roma Tre (SLR3) is an academic initiative launched by the University of Rome Three in 2006-2007. SLR3 courses, open to Italian and foreign students, can be taken as part of the regular university law curriculum or as an independent professional class for self-improvement. The purpose of SLR3 is to give students the opportunity to learn the disciplinary subjects and to ‘do the legal thing’ in a multicultural, multilinguistic environment with colleagues from around the world, from a variety of educational, linguistic, and cultural backgrounds. SLR3 also encourages students’ interest in developing skills and professional know-how in areas in which English increasingly plays a key role as the lingua franca of commerce and trade, mergers and acquisitions, contractual agreements and international arbitration.

Abstract
This chapter explores students' expectations and perceptions in a law programme - "Studying Law at Roma Tre" - taught in English at Roma Tre University. Studying Law at Roma Tre (SLR3) is an academic initiative launched by the University of Rome Three in 2006-2007. SLR3 courses, open to Italian and foreign students, can be taken as part of the regular university law curriculum or as an independent professional class for self-improvement. The purpose of SLR3 is to give students the opportunity to learn the disciplinary subjects and to ‘do the legal thing’ in a multicultural, multilinguistic environment with colleagues from around the world, from a variety of educational, linguistic, and cultural backgrounds. SLR3 also encourages students’ interest in developing skills and professional know-how in areas in which English increasingly plays a key role as the lingua franca of commerce and trade, mergers and acquisitions, contractual agreements and international arbitration.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
