Course Contents |
In this course, the focal point is on how to teach short stories and novels, so short stories and novels (sometimes novel excerpts) are first analysed together with the students and then some exercises which aim at language teaching are generated collaboratively. Those exercises have the inclusion of language skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking) together with the teaching of some basic literary terms, cultural elements and so forth. |
