– demonstrate the ability to critically evaluate texts and their intended function and reliability
– demonstrate the ability to communicate, using spoken and written English, their own interpretation of texts.
Course Content
In the course a number of academic, non-fiction and fiction texts and films originally written in English are studied. In addition, important textual and analytical concepts and terms are introduced. In this way the students develop their ability to approach and discuss different
texts critically and analytically in English.
The course consists of five modules:

Introduction to Non-Fiction, 1.5 Credits
Several different types of non-fiction texts, such as newspapers and government documents, are discussed and compared. Students learn how to read the texts in a critical way and consider concepts such as the author’s degree of objectivity and use of register.
Short Fiction, 1.5 Credits
Students are introduced to the basic elements of fiction and explore these through reading, discussing and writing about poetry, short stories, films and children’s books.
Scientific and Academic Writing, 1.5 Credits
Students are introduced to academic and scientific texts from several different subject areas. Attention is drawn to the structures and signal phrases commonly used in such texts.
The Novel, 1.5 Credits
Students continue to explore the elements of fiction (introduced in module 2) by reading, discussing and writing about a short novel.
Critical Reading and Written and Oral Analysis, 1.5 Credits
Students build on and demonstrate the concepts learned in modules 1-4 to present their analyses of several different texts in writing and in oral presentations.
Assessment
Written assignments, continuous assessment of active participation in seminars, and oral presentations.

Forms of Study
Obligatory seminars including group discussion, lectures and self-study. All teaching is conducted in English.
Course Literature
A number of texts will be provided in PDF form or via links to online sources. You should have your own copy of the following texts:

1. They Say / I Say: The Moves That Matter in Academic Writing (Third Edition) by G. Graff (2014).
2. Wilderness, by R. Doyle (2011). Some tips for understanding new text

4 ways to read a text:
1) Skimming
Quickly reading a text to get a general idea of what it is about. For example, you might skim a newspaper until you find an article you want to read.
2) Scanning
Looking through a particular text for a certain word or phrase or information. For example, looking for a name or a statistic.
3) Intensive reading
Reading and really understanding a whole text. For example, when you read a novel you enjoy.
4) Extensive reading
Going beyond reading and understanding the actual text in order to analyze it. For example, when you think about who the intended audience for the text is and what the author’s motives were.

3 ways to understand new words in a text:
1) Context
You figure out the word’s meaning by looking at the rest of the words in the sentence.
For example:
– My uncle was a nomad, a wanderer who never had a permanent home. (synonym)
– She loved Brian deeply, but she absolutely despised his brother, Adam. (antonym)
– The scientist removed the treatise from the shelf and began reading it. (association between object and purpose)

2) Analysis of the word itself. You can break a word up into smaller parts (smallest part = morpheme).
For example: incurable = in + cure + able

3) Look them up in a dictionary. Look at all of the possible definitions to be sure you
choose the correct word.
