SYNOPSES OF COURSES
HXE 107/3
THEORY OF RECEPTIVE AND PRODUCTIVE SKILLS
The course deals with the theories of receptive (reading and listening) and
productive (speaking and writing) skills. Students will be exposed to various
aspects of the development of teaching strategies, different approaches and
current trends for teaching each of the language skills. It aims to equip students
with the relevant theoretical and practical underpinnings that can reinforce their
existing knowledge base.
HXE 108/3
APPROACHES TO ENGLISH LITERATURE
In this course, students will not only develop the skills that they require to study
literature but will also be encouraged to reflect on what the discipline of literary
study is for, how it got established in the first place and what sort of lessons that
they can possibly gather from it.
Essentially, this course will encourage students to ask certain crucial questions
about the development of existing frameworks and procedures for studying
literature and, equally vital, alternative approaches.
