Description | |
Introductory activities | What does TEXT mean and how does it mean? Learning how to read and analyse a text. The author / the Text / the reader. Form & Function. |
Lecture | Lectures will be based on introducing tools and strategies which will help you to analyse texts with confidence. |
Seminars | The seminars will consist of active in-class analyses of texts. |
Seminars | Basic tools on how to analyse texts according to psychoanalytical theories, marxist theories, feminist theories, postcolonial theories and post-structural theories. |
Presentations / expositions | Students will be asked to form a group (3 or 4 students per group). Each group will then choose a subject for their Oral Presentation. The topic will then be discussed in a tutorial with me. After the Oral Presentation, each group member has to write an essay and hand it in on the following week. Precise instructions will be set out in Moodle. |
Personal tuition | My office hours will be posted on Moodle but I would prefer you to contact me at least the day before to arrange for a meeting. You can do this by e-mail or office phone: 977.559527 |
