AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

The course delves more deeply into the nature of human communication, employing texts (novel, film, official document) as the source which must be interpreted analytically in order to identify what happens in a speech event and how and why this happens.

TEACHING METHODS

Inductive. Students must participate actively in lessons (held in English) by commenting on examples and texts, from which the theory is induced.
