Aims
This course aims to provide opportunities for students to explore creativity in the English language, not just in 'high culture' literary texts but also in everyday language use and certain media forms. Students can develop an understanding and conduct analysis of the creativity continuum between everyday creative uses of the language and the literature of English.
Contents
There are four major sections in this course:
Learning support
There are a total of 14 two-hour tutorials where students are familiarised with the topics by the tutor.
Assessment
There are five individual written assignments (60%) and a final examination (40%).
Electronic submission of assignments
Except for some designated assignments, students are required to submit assignments via the Online Learning Environment (OLE).
