Learning outcomes of the learning unit
By the end of the term, students should be able to:
- construct a developed and correct written discourse in Spanish.
- produce a written argument in a justified and ordered manner.
- produce complex ideas on Spanish literary texts.
- identify a whole series of literary figures and narrative strategies.
- the stages and particularities of various realist schools in Spanish literature.
- certain specific terms in Spanish literary history (genres or trends).
- some key details which allow them to interpret and develop the required readings.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Level B2 of spoken and written Spanish. Ideally, students will have a general knowledge of the eras of literature and of contemporary Spanish history, as well as basic skills for narratological analysis. It would be desirable to have previously followed the course 'Introduction to the history of Spanish literature' (LLM) or 'Études de textes littéraires espagnols' (LLM).
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Each piece of reading is accompanied by a series of questions which the students should think about before the corresponding class. Film versions of some readings will be shown outside the compulsory classes.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)
Face-to-face.
