Text Linguistics (OPEN UNI)

You will recognize the key concepts of textual analysis and be able to apply them to the analysis of different types of texts. You will be able to analyze text samples linguistically from the perspective of textual analysis.

In addition, you will practice the following generic skills:

Analytical, critical and creative thinking skills You will analyze information, justify your opinions, and conceptualize and define entities. You will learn to distinguish between essential and non-essential information, recognize power relations, and reflect on what you have learned. You will practice applying the content covered to everyday life and working life. You will develop multiliteracies and a critical approach to examining texts.

Well-being and self-development skills You will practice self-management by taking responsibility for your own actions on the course and paying attention to realistic time management between work, study, and leisure time. You will pay attention to your well-being by developing your self-compassion and your ability to tolerate controlled discomfort. You will reflect on the course content in relation to your professional identity and learn to recognize your strengths and weaknesses.

Communication, interaction and digital skills You practice clear and concise expression, both verbally and in writing.
You develop your listening and discussion skills as well as your cooperation and teamwork skills. You deepen your media and digital skills.

Face-to-face is the recommended teaching mode, as the course focuses on practicing generic skills that are essential for interaction (communication, interaction, and digital skills).

For justified reasons, the course can also be completed independently in a separately agreed manner, if the teacher considers it appropriate. In independent study, the teaching method is scheduled online. Individual study arrangements may be granted if the student can present a recommendation justifying them.
