Cíle předmětu

The course develops 21st century skills among students by exposing them to problem solving activities which foster (i) creative thinking, problem solving, and critical thinking, (ii) communicative competence, and (iii) acquisition of intercultural awareness. Students are introduced to history, literature and culture of Great Britain from the period of Roman Britain to the end of the 18th Century. The goal is to introduce important authors, literary movements, historical events and cultural context of the given period and analyze their interrelation. Students will understand how literary texts reflect historical events and cultural myths. They will learn to identify cultural values and interpret them with the purpose to enhance respect to otherness. Students will discuss the role of context, gender, race, and ethnicity in history and in forming of literary genres and topics. For that reason it is necessary that students enroll into both the literary seminar group as well as the history seminal group of the course.

Výukové metody

Discussion, small group work, lecture, in class writing exercises.

Students can deliver short (5 minute) presentations on current matters influenced and interconnected with any of the discussed texts for extra points.

(The literary part of the course is inspired by the theory and practice of dialogic teaching (as proposed by Robin Alexander). To that end, each class employs a different communicative activity which is used to: (i) introduce students to some possible ways of teaching literature, (ii) enable students to understand the discussed texts on a deeper level, (iii) foster the spirit of a learning community.)

Metody hodnocení

Literature part:
Participation in collaborative learning and discussion based activities (30%) Mid-term essay (30%)
Final essay (40%)

History part:
6 on-line quizzes, active class participation (read e-books), 2 discussion forums.

Informace učitele

During the course, students read one longer text (a novel) and watch a Shakespearean play. Reading assignments for the remaining sessions are of a shorter nature.

It is also vital that students enroll both into the literary seminar group (taught by J. Šalamoun and D. Hochmanová) and the history seminar group (taught by Z. Janík) at the same time as the approaches complement each other.
