Course contents :
|
| The course introduces students to some lesser known works in anglophone literature and should thus develop their awareness of its cultural diversity. In 2011-12 it bears on Cypriot literature in English, mainly poems and short stories with writers such as Stephanos Stephanides, Aydin Mehmet Ali et Nora Nadjarian. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| By the end of the course students should have increased their reading skills and developed sound habits of checking secondary literature. It is also to be hoped that they will have understood limiting ideological tenets at stake in the Cyprus Question. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Good knowledge of English. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| Since many will be discovering diversity thanks to the ERASMUS exchange programme, the number of students ought to be sufficiently low for the course to take the form of a seminar with all students actively involved. They will of course have previously read the works to be considered in class and will have explored the context in which they were produced. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Face-to-face

Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| Students will have to write an essay at home. They will be assessed on their participation in class and on the marks they receive for this essay, but the final mark will be determined by a written examination followed by an oral feedback in January. |
