Course Content
Literary texts is a learner-centred course that will be offered at a technical university. Therefore, specific needs and background of technical university students as well as those studying social sciences are taken into consideration during the design process. The course aims to provide students with practice in four skills (reading, writing, speaking, listening). The course also appeals to students who are interested in literature, since it offers literary materials either as reading texts or as writing prompts to which students can respond to either in the form of an essay or an extended research on the assigned theme of the week. At production level, higher-order thinking skills such as synthesizing and evaluating information as well as producing ideas and forming judgements will be required. In this course, a thematic approach will be adopted, and course materials will be chosen among literary texts that revolve around certain thematic concerns such as war, migration, city, nature, house and body. Each theme will be discussed for two weeks. At the end of two weeks, students will be assigned paragraphs, presentations, group presentations on the theme of the week.
