Dear all,

Welcome to the literature course. This term we are going to study English literature from the epic poem Beowulf to the 19th century novel. The first and second sessions will be devoted to discussing different definitions of literature. Next we are going to analyse how literature can be used in the EFL classroom. The benefits, and possible approaches are going to be presented and discussed.

After that, we will start reading some of the most representative pieces of English literature to understand the context of production, culture, and critical reception. References will be made to how these pieces of literature could be used in the teaching of English as a foreign language.

See you soon,

Claudia
