| Metodologies |
| Descripció | |
| Activitats Introductòries | During the introductory session the teacher will present the main features of the course. Students will learn about the contents of the course and other rellevant details. |
| Sessió Magistral | Lecture-type sessions will present the topic of the unit. The teacher will introduce the main topic and will highlight the points students are supposed to recognize during the practical sessions. Literary, cinematographic and cultural references will be considered. |
| Pràctiques a través de TIC | Students will listen to recordings of simplified tales based on Shakespeare plays. They will watch scenes from screen adaptations of the selected plays. Moreover, they will have access to the text in the original and in a simplified version, using an online edition. Thanks to the information received during the lecture sessions students will focus their attention on the main items portrayed in the plays, recordings and films. |
| Debats | Debates will take place every week (one per unit), and will present the conclusions reached by the students after listening to the recordings, watching the films and reading the plays. Discussion will be free, though guided by the teacher, who will try to focus the students' attention onto the main points of interest. |

|
Notice that the "final" exam/essay is not such because it only accounts for 40% of the final grade. Students are strongly recommended to attend classes regularly, to read the set texts and to hand in the assignments. Students who need the second sitting to pass the course will be advised individually, and this will depend on the amount of work done during the term. |

| Class attendance is extremely important. Text and film analysis will be an essential part of the course. Although most of the films will be available either from the "Aula d'Autoaprenentatge" or from the Library (so that students can watch them again) it is expected that students watch and analyze the films collectively with their peers and participate in the discussions. |
