ECTS credits: 2

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. The seminar 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 and presentations. This will give students the opportunity to demonstrate their particular analytical and/or creative potential.
