Course Syllabus
Abstract
The course aims to introduce students to the basics of text studies and text analysis in different functional styles. The practical goal of the course is to develop students’ skills to undertake detailed, language-focused, contextually sensitive analyses of a wide range of texts – spoken, written and multimodal. In addition, the students can enrich the knowledge about academic and non-academic texts comprehension, learn to compress and interpret them in different formats (e.g. plot summary, essay, abstract, literature review, project). Another objective of the course is to give students an overview on different linguistic units which comprise the text and enhance already obtained linguistic and academic competences in order to facilitate the academic texts creation.
