By having a look at various reading experiences through separate perspectives, they contsruct an understanding of the nature of reading. |
Dersin İçeriği | The present course is a continuation of ELT 201 – English Literature. It’s designed to familiarize students with the milestones of American Literature through a close analysis of selected pieces ranging from novel to poetry. Comparing to other similar courses, it puts more emphasis on the field of literature itself rather than history of it. The reading materials are composed of works not only from different genres but also from different historical periods, therefore history is not excluded but it is inserted into the materials. The students are encouraged to produce their own interpretations of the reading experience. |
