Methodologies

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. |
Seminars |
The seminars will consist of active in-class analyses of texts. |
Presentations / oral communications |
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. |
Lecture |
Lectures will be based on the reading material of texts and the assigned texts for analysis and discussion. They will highlight the main ideas and concepts that contribute to the analysis of a piece of fiction. |
Personal attention |
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

*Ways of Reading Students are highly recommended to buy the course text "Ways of Reading" (see list above for details) in the specified edition, as it will form the backbone of the two 'Anàlisi de Texts' courses in the second year. Be careful to buy the 4th edition, if you are buying it new. If you buy it second-hand, any edition will do, but the later edition the better. Martin Montgomery et al, Ways of Reading, Fourth edition, 2007 *Moodle Many of the classes will be given as seminars, some as lectures. Power Point presentations on various topics will be uploaded on Moodle, also website addresses where you can access interesting and relevant information.

Other comments |
While regular attendance in class and participation are not given marks directly in the Continuous Assessment part of the course, it is understood that it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that students attend all classes and participate fully in them. It is further understood that to do so will automatically increase the students' likelihood of getting good results in their course work. Students who are unable to attend class on a regular basis because of work or a clash of timetables with other subjects should contact the teacher from the start of the course so that the impact of these obligations upon the student's potential performance can be assessed with the teacher, and recommendations made.
