Course programme

The course will explore a wide range of ways to deal with literary text, aiming at fostering enjoyment of the texts, encouraging critical thinking and,
through these, improving our students’ language, and work with not only traditional texts (short stories, poems, extracts from novels and plays),
but also with alternative texts.
We will not focus on literary criticism, though if most participants are interested, some can be included.
We will look at criteria for choosing appropriate and motivating texts for our students, give some practice in designing engaging activities to use with them, and give participants a taste of creative writing.
