Participants will be taught the terms and methods of analysis and interpretation of texts in the three main literary genres, poetry, drama and narrative. They will also learn about the rules of academic writing in English and apply them to write about literary texts.

The binding module descriptions contain further information, including specifications on the "types of assignments" students need to complete. In cases where a module description mentions more than one kind of assignment, the respective member of the teaching staff will decide which task(s) they assign the students.


This course will include a series of mandatory academic reading and writing assignments, to be carried out both at home (well in advance of the session for which they are due) and during class sessions. Participants who miss more than two of the four-hour class sessions will, therefore, be required to compensate these with an oral exam or an additional writing assignment.
