Titel 1 1. Crossroads

“Crossroads” er et begynderforløb, som handler om at træffe valg - og og hvilken betydning de valg, man træffer, har i livet. Forløbet introducerer til engelskfagets metoder og identitet og fokuserer på fiktion, men derudover introduceres analysearbejdet med poesi, sagprosa og film. Eleverne skal have et indblik i forskellige scenarier omkring “choices” med henblik for at deltage i samtaler og diskussioner om teksternes temaer. Desuden bliver der gennemgået grammatiske grundregler.

Titel 2 What we talk about when we talk about nature

An introduction to different literary genres from different literary periods.
What the texts have in common is the theme man's relationship with and treatment of the wild - untamed nature and maybe even the elements of untamed nature within.
We study how nature has been viewed and dicussed differently over the past couple of centuries and how conflicting perceptions of nature compete and shape the world today.

Titel 6 India - a colonial past and a different future

India, empire and the global English language

Indhold:  Der fokuseres på udbredelsen af det engelske sprog gennem etableringen af det britiske imperium og fokuseres særligt på Indien.
Gennem læsning og diskussion af teksterne forsøger vi at komme nærmere en forståelse af Indien som et komplekst samfund, som måske bedst forstås som et samfund præget af store forskelle og modsætninger mellem rige og fattige, tradition og modernitet gamle Indiske kulturer og moderne britisk-inspirerede institutioner, sprog og ideer/værdier. Der er særligt fokus på kvinders forhold i Indien og på ægteskabet som en institution under forandring - som så meget andet i Indien.

Titel 7 Climate Future Fiction

Project in collaboration with SDU

High school students and their peers are in many ways unusually aware of the impact of climate change on their personal lives (and futures) compared to previous generations of young people. High school students (and other young people) live in a time when the consequences of carbon emissions are increasingly difficult for politicians and governments to ignore. As a result, this generation may feel particularly ignored or marginalized by institutions that are supposed to represent their interests. For example, a recent study by Bath University in 10 countries found that almost 60% of young people (aged 16-25) are very concerned about climate change, and two-thirds noted that they feel sad, scared, and anxious when thinking about the future (Hickman et al., 2021).

At the same time, "Eco-stress" caused by climate change is only now beginning to be documented (Usher, 2019). This suggests that more work needs to be done, not only to understand this phenomenon but also to give young people the opportunity to express their concerns.

Climate Future Fiction allows high school students to creatively express their partially unconscious concerns, hopes, and fears regarding climate change (and its possible impact on their individual futures). As part of a teaching course in English, the participating high school classes will do writing exercises within the cli-fi genre, where they must first write flash fiction and then rework them into short stories. The researchers will then have access to the students' products, which they can use in their research.
