Engelsk, nettstudium
English is today the most important language in the world. It is the mother tongue of some 400 million people, and the second language of many more. This net-based course gives a basic introduction to the main disciplines of English as an academic subject: linguistic, literary and cultural studies. The course qualifies students for further studies in English at intermediate (“fordjupning” level) and master’s level. The course also qualifies candidates to teach English, if combined with PPU (practical pedagogical training). From 2019, admission to PPU will be limited to holders of a master's degree.
In accordance with the national qualification framework, the student will achieve the following learning outcomes after completing the programme:
The student possesses knowledge about
- the vocabulary, structure and function of the English language
- culture, society and literature in a selection of English-speaking countries
- standards and norms of academic writing and use of sources
- stylistic and cultural conventions needed to adapt language to different situations
The student is able to
- identify and analyse English language structures
- analyse and discuss English literature
- interpret cultural and social phenomena and texts from English-speaking countries
- use English confidently and functionally, in writing and speech
The student is able to
- independently develop their knowledge of English language, literature and culture
- communicate in English in different contexts.
