EN1110: English Linguistics I & II (7.5 hec)
Course Coordinator: Joe Trotta
A basic description of the course: The English Linguistics course has two parts, English
Linguistics part I introduces the student to the main areas of modern linguistics along with the
issues and controversies which have engaged linguistic researchers. The topics covered are,
among others, the uniqueness of human communication, first and second language acquisition,
language and the brain, communicative approaches to language (such as pragmatics and
discourse analysis) as well as the relation between language, society and culture. English
Linguistics part II focuses on language structure, taking up central concepts in grammar, syntax
and phonetics with a special emphasis on English.
The goals of the English Linguistics sub-course: English Linguistics part I is designed is to
improve your knowledge of how the study of language works, to familiarize you with the main
areas of linguistic study, to introduce you to the principles/concepts underlying the various
fields of linguistic research, help you understand the complexity of human language, to present
you with basic linguistic methodology and to show how these varied topics relate to the study of
English in particular. English Linguistics part II will help you understand the structure of English
with specific emphasis on Grammar, Syntax and Phonetics.
Class meetings & recommended preparation: Typical class meetings consist of lectures which
introduce aspects of modern linguistics and provide a platform for further discussion. The
students are required to read selected chapters from the course textbook (George Yule,
The Study of Language) and are expected to participate in class discussions based on this
text. For several lectures, there will be accompanying class meetings in smaller groups - in these
smaller groups you will work with specific assignments related to the lectures, i.e. exercises on
Word Formation, Grammar, Phonetics, etc.
Assessment/Examination: This course is assessed through the following exams:

English Linguistics I (4 hec): this is a sit-down exam in which you demonstrate your
knowledge on issues in English Lingusitics related to broad fields of studies like
Sociolinguistics, Language Acquisition, Discourse Analysis, The Origin of Language, and so
on. Questions are based on those in the "question bank" (see the 'documents' page), although
we may ask you about different words/sentences/examples etc. than those in the sample
questions.

English Linguistics II: The Structure of English (3.5 hec): this is also a sit-down exam in
which you demonstrate your knowledge of the structure of English in terms of Grammar,
Syntax, Phonetics and Phonology (see the 'documents' page for a sample exam).
Course materials (required): English Linguistics I & II are built on the textbook The Study of
Language, (4th, 5th or 6th edition) by George Yule (Cambridge University Press). The book is also
available as an e-book via the GU library. At present, the e-book version is the 4th edition, though
this is unfortunate, it should not create any problems for this class. If you have any questions,
please ask your teachers.

EN1110: English-Speaking Cultures (7,5 hec)
Course coordinator: Chloé Avril
Brief course description: The purpose of this course is to improve your cultural competence
through a thematic study based on the principles for sustainable development laid out by
UNESCO. Through a study of historical and contemporary texts (from political speeches to
popular songs and film) you will be able to relate the concept of sustainable development to
processes of cultural change that have shaped English-speaking cultures both in the past and
today. The course is also actively integrated with the parallel sub-course English Literary
Studies so that a problem or phenomenon explored in the culture course will typically be
reflected in the literature assigned for the same week.
The goals of the course: At the end of this course, students should be able to:




Understand and explain central concepts relevant to the study of culture
Relate the study of culture to the principles of sustainable development
Use rhetorical concepts to analyze culturally significant texts
Use cultural concepts to analyze texts in both written and oral forms
Class meetings & preparation: The course consists of lectures (attended by all EN1110
students), peer group sessions (attended by your peer group of around 5 students with
no teacher present), and teacher led seminars (attended by your seminar group of around 25
students). Peer group sessions are meant for you to process the content of the lecture and
prepare the teacher led seminars. For these sessions, you will need to have read the texts
assigned for the seminar and thought about them using the study questions provided on GUL. To
know what to read for each session and seminar, look at the combined study plan for the
Literature and Culture courses.
Please note that you must always come well prepared: you are required to read all texts
assigned for individual peer sessions, seminars and lectures and to participate actively in
seminar discussions.
Assessment: This course is assessed through the following examination forms:




Written assignment 1 (home exam): Essay (2 hec)
Written assignment 2 (home exam): Rhetorical analysis (3,5 hec)
Oral Presentation (in groups; done in class) (2 hec)
For students in the ISP program, Written assignment 1 is instead replaced by
“Omvärldskunskap”
Course materials (required): This course does not have a separate course book. All the texts
you are required to read for the seminars and lectures are available in the form of course
compendia. You access them through a link in the study plan on GUL. Other links to internet
resources are provided in the study questions page.

EN1110: English Literary Studies (7,5 hp)
Course coordinator: Marcus Nordlund
The purpose of this course is to expand your capacity to analyse literary texts of different
genres and countries of origin. To this end we will teach you the fundamentals of literary theory,
research documentation, and study some concrete examples of literary research. The texts
under scrutiny are regarded both as valuable objects of study in their own right and as keys to
cultural competence in your personal and working life. For this reason the course is closely
integrated with the parallel course English-Speaking Cultures; a topic in the culture course will
usually be reflected somehow by the literary text(s) studied in the same week.
Material used in the literature course:
1. The course book Tison Pugh and Margaret E. Johnson, Literary Studies: A Practical
Guide, which will give you a basic grounding in literary theory and the nature of literary
research.
2. Literary texts representing the three basic literary genres (three novels, some poems,
and a play).
3. Additional texts in the course compendium (such as additional theoretical material and
examples of literary research).
Class meetings & recommended preparation: The course consists of lectures (attended by all
EN1110 students), peer group meetings (attended by your peer group of around 5 students,
with no teacher present), and teacher led seminars (attended by your EN1110 group). The
typical week follows a regular pattern (with some necessary exceptions). It typically begins with
a lecture on Wednesday that takes one or more sections in the Literary Studies: A Practical
Guide as its point of departure. This lecture is followed by a peer group meeting where you
process the content of the lecture and work together on a particular topic. You will be expected
to report back on this discussion later in the week. Most or all of Thursday has usually been set
aside for reading since this sub-course is fairly reading-intensive: you may, for example, be
expected to read a novel of around 200 pages in preparation for the teacher-led seminar on
Friday. The Friday seminar concludes the week’s work by drawing together the contents of the
lecture, the peer group meeting, and the literary text(s) you have been asked to read. One week
will also be devoted to drama: we collaborate with Gothenburg English Studio Theatre
(GEST) in order to explore this art form from the perspective of audience and actor/director
alike.
Please note that you must always come well prepared: you are required to read all texts
assigned for peer group meetings/seminars/lectures and to participate actively in
seminar discussions.
Examination: This subcourse has two different exams. The first is a sitdown exam (3 credits)
in December or April where you demonstrate your capacity to explain literary concepts and your
capacity to apply them. The sitdown exam will based on the lectures, seminars, and the course
reader, Pugh and Johnson's Literary Studies: A Practical Guide. The second is the literary
research paper (4,5 credits) where you engage in a bit of literary research and formulate your
results in essay form. This paper, which is due in January or June, brings together many other
skills that you have practiced during your first term of English (such as essay writing, library
searches, etc.) Please consult the sample exams page for more detailed information.
