СПЕЦИАЛНОСТ АНГЛИЙСКА ФИЛОЛОГИЯ

Освен задължителните курсове, които ще изучавате през първия семестър на учебната година, вие трябва да изберете и два от следните четири избираеми курса (най-малко 3 кредита общо):

1. Езикова култура (български език) (1 кредит)

2. English Through Literature (2 кредита)

English Through Literature

Instructor: Maria Dimitrova

English Through Literature is a one-semester elective course, based on a selection of contemporary literary texts to be discussed in class. It offers 1st-year students the chance to overcome inhibitions about speaking in English, and to learn to express ideas and develop arguments more confidently and more competently. It will encourage them to ask themselves more questions as they read, and to read at a greater number of levels. It will also help them to expand and vary their general vocabulary, and will introduce them to the basic vocabulary we need when we talk about texts and, in particular, about literary texts – about the way we make sense of them, respond to them, and evaluate them.

3. English for Professional Communication: Presentations (2 кредита)

English for professional communication: Presentations

Instructor: Dr. Emilia Slavova

Throughout our academic and professional life, we are frequently required to speak in front of other people and to present information in oral, written and visual form. This course is practically oriented and develops students’ research and presentation skills: choosing a topic, researching the topic, organizing the information in a logical sequence, citing sources, effective public speaking, poster presentations, and PowerPoint presentations. The students work individually and in groups and prepare and deliver oral presentations. Evaluation is based on current assessment.

4. Images of Britishness (2 кредита)

Images of Britishness

Instructor: Ivelina Kazakova

Images of Britishness is a one-semester elective academic English course whose principal aim is to enable students to develop a set of academic study skills (e.g effective summary writing, note-taking etc.) while building knowledge of British culture. Delivery will be via workshops and seminars, as well as supported independent learning whose centerpiece will be a selection of non-fiction texts and/or audio-visual materials offering insights into a variety of culture-specific topics. In addition to expanding students’ general vocabulary, the course will help students map basic Britishness concepts. Progress and quality of academic work will be assessed through a range of methods, including essays, individual and group presentations. This will give students the opportunity to demonstrate their particular analytical and/or creative potential.
