Grundforløb: Education
In this course, we explore the topic of education in both the UK and US from a variety of text genres and with a particular focus on vocabulary, word classes, characterization, narrative point of view, and working with quotations and textual evidence. Topics include transitions, school systems, access, inequality, social mobility, opportunities, and will include students’ own experiences and plans, as well as a panel debate with American exchange students.
