| Learning, Teaching and Assessment (LTA) Approach: |
Teaching will take place in the form of a weekly lecture, which includes an interactive part, and smaller tutorial meetings. The lectures will provide the necessary input and framework of reference (LO 1, 2, 3) for further, more interactive activities (LO 4, 5). Learning will occur in a variety of formats in order to allow for different student learning styles. Tutorial activities will range from listening, individual oral contributions and small group work (LO 2, 4, 5), to independent research, reading and writing assignments (LO 1, 3, 5). Specific attention will also be given to developing research, referencing and writing skills (LO 5).The module facilitates the development of personal and scholarly skills relevant to a range of employment sectors. You will develop your ability to read and write critically and analytically, and articulate arguments in both verbal and written form. Group exercises will train you in collective work.Lecture notes and additional material will be available on Moodle, which will enable all learners to access the module with ease. A list of relevant online resources will be provided. International students will be pointed in the direction of tailored resources available to them (such as language tutorials for written assignments, if desired and necessary). Primary and secondary texts studied on this module address the question of historical transformations in English Studies’ place in the world, thus situating the discipline within a critical and international perspective.

Formative assessment takes the form of weekly tasks prepared for discussion with peers and lecturer during tutorials, and which inform the summative assessment.These formative activities prepare students for submitting their summative assessments by engaging them early in handling the module material, supporting them in planning their time and work, and providing opportunities, through discussing their initial work with the lecturer, to help them gain an appreciation of the expectations of high-quality work and strategies for attaining it (LO1-5).

The first assessment will be due in week 8 and consist of a 2,000 word essay counting towards 40% of the overall grade. Students will be asked to deploy the theories studied on the module and answer a question using two of the texts studied from weeks 2-6. The second final assessment will be due in week 14 and consist of an essay of 2,500 words which will count towards 60% of the grade. Similarly to the first essay, students will have to deploy theory to answer a set question using two of the texts studied from weeks 8-12. Both essays contribute to LO1-5
