Metodologies

	Descripció
Activitats Introductòries	The introductory sessions will offer an overview of the coursework and will illustrate the methodology and difficulties involved in studying the early period of literature in English.
Seminaris	The seminars will be based on the reading and understanding of texts. It is important that you prepare the texts before they are discussed in class. The seminar will give you the opportunity to raise questions, iron out difficulties and learn.
Presentacions / exposicions	Students may be expected to discuss their written work in individual or small group tutorials.
Treballs	You will be given a total of 6 written assignments on different texts, through the course, three in each semester. Written work will be structured along lines indicated by the tutor, and ranging from answering reading comprehension question, to a more open critical essay format.
Sessió Magistral	The lecture-based classes will focus on close readings and a study of the mechanisms used in the construction of "English" literature. This will constitute the main theoretical input of the course, together with recommended readings, which will be tested 6 times throughout the course, each test corresponding to a part of the course.
