structure |

The overall goal of the course is to give the student insight in
the basic elements and concepts that are necessary to understand,
interpret, produce and communicate various types of rofessional
texts. This goal is achieved as follows:
• The student will acquire theoretical knowledge of the overall
characteristics of texts.
• The student will master methods for identifying the genre and
purpose of a professional text on the basis of a number of
parameters for analysis (e.g. structure, appeal forms, speech acts,
stylistic features and lexical choices).
• The student will be able to make grammatical and linguistic
observations at sentence level and include them in the analysis and
production of texts.
• The student will be able to apply the theories and methods of the
course in his/her own text production.

| Teaching methods |
| The course is a combination of class
teaching, discussions of texts and exercises prepared at home and
written assignments produced individually or in groups. Workshops
may be included. |
