| Course content and 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 professional
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,
text functions, rhetorical strategies).
• 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 future job and thus contribute to ensure the
quality of a company's communication.
|
| 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. |
| Feedback during the teaching period |
| The student will be given individual feedback in
the form of teacher comments in connection with each written home
assignment. General feedback will be given in class discussions,
student presentations etc. |
