Bridging Gaps and Crossing Texts
A Workbook of English for Humanities Students

Area 10 – Scienze dell'antichità, filologico-letterarie e storico-artistiche

This book is meant for upper-intermediate and advanced students in English language for Humanities. It is based on a heterogeneous corpus of texts: from political discourse to music, from graphic novels to television, and it is meant to fill in a gap still existing in the range of resources available for the study of English at university level. The study of subjects like literature, history, philosophy and the like requires a wide knowledge of the many nuances and layers articulating a language, as a necessary skill to engage in deeper analyses and critical approaches to the broad range of possible texts that the students are invited to read and explore. The book is organized into five sections, each of them focusing on a specific genre: Speeches, Music, Images, TV series, and Writing. Within each section attention has been given to offer a range of different materials, so as to excite the curiosity and capture the interest of students with different backgrounds and educational goals.
