The aim of the course is for students to develop good knowledge of the English language, of English-language literature and of the various British and American eras of ideas and literary history, as well as assimilate key concepts and methods in modern linguistics and different aspects of language learning, at the same time as they prepare for a future profession as a language teacher. Students also must be able to critically analyse discourses within politics and the media as well as identity-creating processes based on a language-sociological perspective. An overall aim is also that students develop independence in their studies and the ability to reflect on their own learning.
