| Allgemeine Beschreibung |
The "English Literature: Textual Analysis" module is a two-semester module that consists of weekly seminar sessions and an accompanying fortnightly lecture. Designed as an introduction, the module familiarises students with the critical vocabulary and methodology used in the study of literature. The emphasis is on the structural analysis and close reading of poetry, narrative texts, drama, film and other visual examples so that students learn how to approach various genres and different media. The module also trains students in the conventions of academic research and writing practised in literary studies. The lecture offers an overview of the most important theoretical concepts and illustrates these by means of concrete literary examples. The seminars, which are taught in smaller classes, provide an opportunity for in-depth discussions, exercises and group work. |
| Lernziel |
Students are able to: (a) closely read primary and secondary texts; (b) define the most important literary terminology; (c) apply these terms in their analysis of literary texts; (d) reflect on various literary genres and forms as well as different media; (e) evaluate and interpret their findings, develop thesis statements, structure arguments and support these with textual evidence; (f) search for relevant material in library catalogues and the most important databases used in the subject. |

| Allgemeine Beschreibung |
The Language Skills and Culture: Introduction module is a two-semester module that consists of weekly classroom sessions (Übung) and an accompanying fortnightly lecture. The classroom sessions take place every week and have two main foci: academic writing skills and cultural studies. The writing skills component introduces and practices the key competences required to write academic essays in English such as writing introductions, main body paragraphs and conclusions; illustration and elaboration of ideas; coherence and cohesion; argumentation and critical thinking skills; and focused work on common language difficulties. The cultural studies element examines key topics in cultural studies such as national identity, postcolonialism, multiculturalism, gender, class, sexuality, and the consumption of culture. They are closely based on the accompanying fortnightly lectures, and re-examine, consolidate and expand upon the ideas presented there. |
| Lernziel |
Students can structure an argumentative essay, independently research and use academic support, and write cohesively in an appropriate academic register. They can critically analyse sociological developments and cultural texts. |

| Allgemeine Beschreibung |
This module introduces students to the history of English and to English historical linguistics. It is intended for Bachelor students in their second year and consists of two parts: a lecture and a seminar. The lecture provides an overview on the history of the English language from the Indo- European pre-history of English to the Norman Conquest of
1066. The seminar introduces the students to Old English (the language spoken and written in Britain between AD
450-1150). The module gives an insight into these early forms of English and provides guidance on how to read original texts in Old English with the help of glossaries. It also introduces some basic principles of English historical linguistics and of the study of early medieval English literature. |
| Lernziel |
Students have basic knowledge of English historical linguistics (periods of language history, linguistic phenomena and their diachronic developments). They are able to read and understand simple Old English texts in the original using appropriate study tools. |

This two-semester module consists of a weekly lecture in the first semester and a self-study component in the second semester. In order to provide students with a historical survey, the module traces the forms and evolution of poetry, fiction, drama and non-fictional prose from the Renaissance to the present.

Enlarging upon the material discussed in the lecture in the first semester, students spend the second semester reading a selection of texts they chose from the reading list in addition to a number of set texts from the lecture and an introduction to literary theory. The module concludes with a final oral exam at the end of the second semester. |

| Allgemeine Beschreibung |
In the field of language learning, creative writing has long been advocated as a valuable exercise due to its "playful but rigorous work with language" and its ability to create "greater precision in expression" (British Council). It has also been shown to be an important emotional outlet and leads to greater self-awareness, self-confidence and improved mental health. In keeping with these notions, this supplement course allows students to discover the merits ofcreative writing for themselves.
Using a variety of prompts, students will compose their own poetry, prose and drama and will engage critically with their own work and with that of others.
Special emphasis will be placed on responding to writing prompts, as well as on the creative process, editing and rewriting. A selection of the students' output will be collected and performed at an end-of-semester reading.
Students will first read and discuss a selection of shorter text types (e.g.
poetry, flash fiction, ten-minute plays), before emulating those by producing their own work. |
| Lernziel |
After having completed this module, students will:
- be skilled at writing a variety of shorter text types
- be adept at identifying strengths and weaknesses in their own and other students' writing
- be able to suggest solutions to remedy those weaknesses |
