PBET1107 – INTRODUCTION TO METHODOLOGY IN LITERATURE EDUCATION (3 Credit Hours)

Synopsis:

This introductory course will enable students to develop insights into the role of literature in the curriculum. Students will be introduced to
theories, approaches and issues that are relevant to the teaching and learning of literature in English to speakers of other languages.
Notions of language competence and literary competence and the processes of literary reading will be discussed. Students will be
encouraged to develop an understanding of appropriate learner-centred methodology for the teaching of the genres of literature. This will be
facilitated through the reader-response approaches to texts. The context of literature teaching and learning and the role of the teacher will
also be explored. The teaching approach will be largely experiential so that principles for the teaching and learning of literature may be
inductively drawn.
