WRITING ABOUT ENGLISH LITERATURE(LECTURE IN ENGLISH)

본 교과목은 학생들에게 문학(픽션, 시, 드라마)의 기본적인 개념들을 소개하고 영어작문 시간에 배운 글쓰기 기술을 보다 강화하고 세련화시키는 데 기본 목표를 둔다. 그러나 참고문헌을 사용하는 학술적 글쓰기의 기술에 보다 초점을 둔다. 학생들은 읽기와 쓰기를 통해 단편, 시 그리고 드라마의 다른 요소들을 분석하고, 나아가 비평적 읽기의 기술을 발달시키게 되며, 문학에 대한 개인적인 반응을 할 수 있고 적절한 학술적 글쓰기를 통해 그 반응들을 공유할 수 있게 된다.
