Purpose and Content

The aim of the course This course aims to introduce the students to the basic terms and concepts related to the literature. These terms and concepts (figures of speech, elements of plot structure, genres and subgenres etc.) are essential to students’ ability to understand and interpret literary works. The terms and concepts will be defined and explained to the students and exemplified through works of literature. By the end of the course, students will be expected to show understanding and recognition of basic literary terms, and to be able to interpret previously unseen literary works through the knowledge and skills they have gained.
Course Content This course involves a careful examination and practice of the four major linguistic skills: reading, listening, speaking and writing. Linguistic perfection is a major goal and requirement of the English Language and Literature program. Therefore, IDE 103 Advanced English Practice I aims to improve students’ English skills to prepare them to be ready to comprehend, analyse and effectively write about masterpieces of English Literature and endow them with the necessary skill for their future careers. Students will be expected to be able to produce various types of well-written essays, to make effective oral presentations and to participate in debates about their knowledge and opinions on diverse subjects. The course is the pre-requisite for the IDE 104 Advanced English Practice II.
