INTERPRET A VARIETY OF LITERARY TEXTS
PURPOSE
Interpret a variety of literary texts in a short online course of competence at this level will enable learners to discuss the style and purpose of the text, implied and stated meanings, themes, plot, the author’s point of view and the context in which the text arose.
This interpretation of a variety of literary texts can use literature as a base to study and make judgements about human and social issues. They are aware of the drama and power of language. As a creative representation of life and experience, literature raises important questions about the human condition, now and in the past. Learners’ increasing ability to reflect on their experiences and to compare them with those of others is encouraged, enhancing their capacity to deal with a selection of texts that explore moral, psychological and philosophical issues.
