The course aims to consolidate and deepen students’ language skills, with particular attention to the development of reading comprehension and textual analysis. To this end, the programme will focus on a selection of critical essays and literary works by modern and contemporary authors, chosen both for their stylistic significance and for the themes explored in their writing. Through the reading, discussion and interpretation of these texts, students will engage in classroom reflection on literary, historical-cultural and socio-political issues, while also enhancing their command of the language and their ability to express themselves with precision and awareness in academic contexts.
