English through Literature 1 (A7)
Literature 1 is designed for students who have finished a FCE course and want to continue improving their level of English through reading and discussing literature. The course starts off with a variety of short stories by writers such as:
- Oscar Wilde
- Zadie Smith
- Henry James
- Paul Auster
- Jean Rhys
- Kate Chopin
Most of the reading is done outside class although we read poetry and short plays in class which is excellent for improving pronunciation!
Classes are very participative with lively discussion and debate about the characters, themes and socio-political aspects of the works.
