This class is for persons studying English Lit. at any level. I aim to teach from a place of understanding and so the lessons are structured around first grasping the internal logic of Academic English. As a result the focus will be on developing their analytical skills and critical knowledge through the use of core texts. Students will learn the art of creating an argument; how to construct, critique and justify their own thoughts; incorporate outside sources and also to recognise and satisfy a mark scheme. I believe that knowledge creates understanding and understanding leads to enthusiasm. What i offer is not just instruction on the syllabus but an appreciation of English as an academic discipline. The aim is to spark the interest of students and so foster a relationship between them and their studies that centres around choice and rewards engagement and expression, leaving them with a sense of security and confidence as they move forward with their schooling. Homework exercises and reading shall be assigned after each lesson. Progress reports available also.
