  Descripció
Activitats Introductòries Preliminary concepts and readings will be given to present the basic literary constituents that conform a piece of fiction. These lectures will be followed by class discussions.
Seminaris The seminars will be based on the analysis of all the texts. Active participation of the student is expected.
Sessió Magistral Lectures will introduce the major theoretical frameworks which will be necessary for the reading, understanding and critical analysis of the extracts selected, the short stories and the novel.
Presentacions / exposicions Part of the evaluation process is based on individual oral presentations. The class will be divided into different groups and each group, and each student, will have to introduce different issues relating to the social-historical context that accompanies each literary extract and short story. A general discussion will follow.
Atenció personalitzada Students are welcome to use the teacher's office hours for personal consultation or to become acquanted with the basic structure and contents of the course, and to further practise their communication skills in English. I will also be available for consultation, etc. via e-mail.

For students who attend classes regularly but fail the continuous assessment: If the sum of all your grades does not add up to 50%, you will have to take the RESIT EXAM which will consist of a 20 question test (20 marks) + 2 short essay questions (on an unseen text) (80 marks). The date of the exam will be announced on Moodle.

Regular attendance means not missing more than 5 classes.

For students who do not attend classes regularly: you will be asked to do the following:

  • A 20-question test based on the texts discussed in class, that is all the texts in your dossier and those on Moodle. (20 marks)
  • You will be required to write a final essay on an unseen topic in the exam. The subject of the essay will be based on the material studied throughout the course. (40 marks)
  • First, you will be given one or two texts from the dossier and then you will have to answer a series of questions on the texts. The date of the oral presentation will be given on the date of the written exam (segona convocatòria). (40 marks)

, Course contents on Moodle, ,
Martin Montgomery et al, Ways of Reading, Fourth edition, 2007

  It is very important that you have a copy of the textbook Ways of Reading (4th Edition!).

*Ways of Reading

(Fourth Edition). You will need it, not only for Anàlisi de Textos I but also for Anàlisi de Textos II, both of which are compulsory subjects in Semesters One and Two. In the first semester, we shall be studying the main points in Sections 1-3, although we shall also be looking at other theories which are important for this module.

*Dossier

The dossier contains all the reading texts we will be analysing throughout the course. Fiction, poetry and prose. You can obtain a copy of the Dossier in the Photocopying Room in September. The texts chosen have been selected because they are especially open to different theoretical frameworks.

*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.



*Films:

During the course, we shall also see one or two films which will be analysed through theories of "Ways of Looking": the gaze of the camera, landscape, genderscape, language.

It is very important that you read in English and listen to films in English. The URV stock many books in English, not only in the English Studies section but also in other disciplines, such as Anthropology, Media Studies, History and so on.
