You´re a read-a-holic? Then this course is the right place for you!

Reading is fun and also broadens the mind. Therefore the focus in this course will be on reading English novels and/or short stories, from classical novels to brandnew young adult literature. We'll practice review writing and deal with plots, characters, narrative techniques and we'll also discuss various current issues that come up in the books.

We´ll read around 4 texts and students will be involved in the choice of books that will be read.
