Language and Literature Year 1-Period 4

In this course, students study a wide range of literary and non-literary texts in a variety of media. By

examining communicative acts across literary form and textual type alongside appropriate secondary

readings, students will investigate the nature of language itself and the ways in which it shapes and is

influenced by identity and culture. Approaches to study in the course are meant to be wide-ranging and

can include literary theory, sociolinguistics, media studies, and critical discourse analysis among others.
