Beschreibung

Please note that you will initially be allotted to only one PLP class through the Stud.IP system. You will, however, be able to attend more than one PLP class if you choose. Students will be allotted to further PLP classes in a second allocation round in which PLP class sizes will be expanded from 15 to 20 students. This second allocation round will take place in early October and will be conducted manually by Linda Wright. The more PLP classes you sign up for, the better your chances are to attend multiple PLP classes in one semester. While there is no limit to how many PLP classes you can attend in one semester, you will likely be able to attend at least two and a maximum of three PLP classes.

Class Category: PLP "Applied Language" K1, K2, K4
This course focuses on students' reading comprehension at an advanced and profound level. It is my contention that a focus on "literary" reading - by which I mean a focus on plot, character, content, metaphor and "story" - through most students' literary nascence means that many readers fail to truly grasp a text at a linguistic level - by which I mean at a grammatical, syntactic, lexical, stylistic and rhetorical level. It is this "linguistic" reading that is the focus of this course.
Students will be required to present a piece of literature - either a complete story or an extract from a prose work, fictional or non-fictional - for discussion in the class. The final grade will be awarded for the class you lead as well as a paper of 2500 words about a reading project of your own choice and design.
