Englantilainen filologia, aineopinnot (AVOIN YO)

Learning objectives at different levels After completing the Basic Studies package in English Philology, the students will be able to demonstrate improved practical skills in their use of written and spoken English and to discuss structures of English and English grammar from different theoretical perspectives. They will also be able to identify and explain the basics of different fields of English linguistics and Anglo-American literature. Finally, they will be able to explain different cultural features of British and North American culture and describe differences between them. The Basic Studies package also familiarise students with the main modes of individual and collaborative teaching and learning encountered in the university: lectures, seminars, tutorials, workshops, group work, presentations, online teaching, examinations and writing assignments. The Intermediate Studies package in English Philology is designed with two goals in mind. First, by virtue of its combination of courses, it extends students’ understanding of the key areas of English Philology while allowing at the same time some room for the development of personal interests. Second, through its training in the basic skills of research methodology and presentation, it prepares students for the pursuit of further academic studies. Indeed, for minor subject students, completion of the Basic and Intermediate Studies packages may be used to fulfil the requirements for a degree in a subject other than English Philology.
