BUDOU ODMÍTNUTI PO SKONČENÍ OBDOBÍ ELEKTRONICKÉHO ZÁPISU. Pokud jste zapsán jako student řádného studia na Univerzitě Karlově, prosím zapište si kód, který vidíte nahoře, u "Je zajišťováno předmětem". ____ THIS CODE WAS CREATED SPECIFICALLY FOR ERASMUS STUDENTS. If you are a foreign exchange student, you should sign up for this code. This is a one-semester course, 1 x 2 lessons per week. Aim: This course will cover a range of twentieth-century prose written in English. Short stories are written by well-known American female writers publishing in The New Yorker. Each week we will look at a brief passage from a literary work and read it closely, paying attention to style, theme and form. The aim is to deepen the linguistic knowledge of students, allowing them also to orient themselves in literary analysis. Materials will be distributed at the beginning of the seminar (no textbook needed) From the beginning of winter semester, the course will be taught in the form of distance on-line learning. For the time being, this measure is valid through October 31, 2020 On-line Zoom meetings will take place once in two weeks. Time: at the same time as scheduled (see the official time table). I will send you Zoom contact through SIS before our first (and virtual) class. Requirements for the course: self-study (reading of the short-stories that will be sent via SIS emails), completion of tasks and final (comparative) essay. If you have any additional questions, contact me on my work mail (web - JC) |
