Aims, contents and method of the course

Content:
In LIU 1 and LIU 2, students work with and analyse a wide range of text types, literary and non-literary. They develop an awareness of how texts are used (to inform, to explain, to persuade, to convince, to move to action, to delight or any combination of these) and learn how to identify characteristic features of different text types and explain their effects. These insights will have a positive impact on students' own production of spoken and written texts.

Aims:
- to raise awareness of the importance of lexical, grammatical and stylistic choices in text
- to develop functional discourse competence and awareness of audience and purpose
- to develop increased awareness of register and appropriateness
- to deepen and refine insights into the language system and lexis

Methods:
Communicative language practice, analysis of spoken and written texts

Assessment and permitted materials

Class participation;
3 graded homework assignments (1 text analysis, 2 text transformations), assessment criteria: task fulfilment, text competence, linguistic range, linguistic accuracy, justifications;
One written test at the end of the semester (online, text transformation plus justification, use of dictionaries permitted).
Students are expected to continue their vocabulary log from ILSS.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Attendance (max. 2 absences)

Part 1: Coursework 60% (= 3 assignments: 1 text analysis, 2 text transformations, 20% each)
Part 2: Final Test (online) 40%
