Purpose and description of the content of education:
The aim of the module is to develop strategies and skills for working with various types of literary texts and cultural texts, including activities such as summarizing, identifying main and secondary themes, recognizing the organization and structure of a text—such as its logic, rhetoric, narrative, symbolism, and other formal features—as well as potential forms of manipulation. Another objective of the module is to highlight the diversity of literary and cultural texts, including those that employ colloquial and less formalized language. The course may incorporate elements of literary and cultural theory, though it is not subordinate to them. The classes are conducted in a workshop format.
