- Description
-
The course Teaching English through Poetry and Drama has two main aims: to encourage an appreciation of literature in English - poetry and drama - of different types and from different cultures; and to develop the key skills required to read, analyze and communicate effectively in English, orally and in written form. By studying a range of texts, students learn more about writers' choices of structure and language, and develop their ability to form independent opinions about what they read. Students also improve their understanding of the English language and how it is used. The course also helps in improving students’ language skills and enhancing their awareness for the language and its use.
