Titel 2 Imperial Britain + Australia & New Zealand (i)

This topic has been split in two:

The students have been introduced to a short colonial history of the UK and have worked with key concepts such as inequality, pride, respect, and power-relations between people, and a recurring theme has been "before, during and after colonization".
Focus has first been put on the UK as a colonial power and then we have worked with Australia and New Zealand both with focus on colonization and post-colonial issues. In relation to Australia, The Stolen Generations and The Dreaming have been recurring topics with focus on identity, language and culture.

We have worked with Hoffstede's theories about power relations within groups , and last, English as Lingua Franca has been touched briefly upon as well.

Titel 6 Cli-Fi

The topic has dealt with climate change and the human position in relation to it. The students have worked with different genres and through their work they have come to terms with different contexts for writing / speaking about climate and climate change. The topic has sought to get students to consider, discuss and take a stand within the debate, and we have discussed the effect of the messages the different materials (song lyrics, short stories, speeches, documentary, comercial) had intended. Why even write about climate changes? Does the sender succeed? Are climate changes a real problem?
