Titel 1 Introduction to English class

In this introduction to English, we will spend time discussing the students’ expectations, what they are looking forward to, and any concerns they may have. The plan for the coming year will be presented in broad outlines. We will begin by focusing on becoming comfortable speaking English together through a range of speaking and listening exercises. We will also work with a short short story to practice analysis and summary writing to introduce our way of working in English class. In addition, time will be set aside for a grammar screening and smaller grammar-focused tasks.

Titel 4 The American Dream - Then and Now (værklæsning)


The American Dream is an important idea in American culture and history. It is the belief that people can improve their lives through hard work and determination. In this unit, students work with literature, speeches, and media texts to understand how the American Dream has developed over time.
The course includes the novel Of Mice and Men as main literary work, historical texts about immigration and civil rights, and modern political speeches and media. Students also discuss current events and compare past and present views on the American Dream, focusing on who has access to the dream and who is excluded in American society.

Titel 5 Class in the UK

This course explores youth, identity, and social class in the United Kingdom. Students analyse how social background affects young people’s opportunities, education, and everyday life, with particular focus on inequality, poverty, and access to resources, where we especially focus on the debate regarding school meals in public schools.
The course ends with the films Billy Elliot and The Riot Club, which are used to compare growing up in the working class and the upper class, and to discuss how class, privilege, and social conditions shape young people’s lives in modern Britain.
