Descripción general e información relevante <p>The aim of this course is to provide a practical approach to the reception of English texts from a critical standpoint. In essence, this perspective involves two main aspects. Firstly, it entails engaging with texts as a result of deliberate linguistic choices made by the author to achieve specific objectives. Secondly, the adopted critical perspective requires students to (i) integrate the processes of text production and reception within the context of literacy practices in specific communicative and sociocultural settings, and (ii) conduct detailed textual analysis with a particular focus on intertextual connections, such as discourses, genres, or styles. Since the course is primarily designed for English students for whom English is a foreign language, a secondary objective is to develop students' communicative competence in English by acquiring a more technical and sophisticated awareness of verbal communication in this language. This heightened awareness encompasses (a) practical awareness, which involves the ability to control, manipulate, and be creative with language, (b) discursive awareness, which involves the ability to discuss language precisely and engage in formal analysis, and (c) the capacity to consider language usage as both a result of and a tool for social and ideological practices.</p>
