The interface between English Literature and English Language: innovation in curriculum development
Date: 24 May, 2011
Location: Room 104, Fulton Building (marked 30 on campus map), University of Sussex
Event type: Workshop
This event is jointly organised by the Subject Centre for LLAS and the Subject Centre for English. The aim of the event is to discuss the interface between English Language and English Literature and to share examples of good practice in teaching various aspects of stylistics, discourse, textlinguistics, etc. on English Literature degrees. The event is timely because many Linguistics departments are merging or have merged with English Literature Departments. The event is aimed at academic staff who are considering how to further integrate aspects of the English Literature and English Language/Linguistics curricula.
The event has been partly sponsored by the International Association for Study of Spanish in Society : SIS / The British Association for Applied Linguistics : BAAL / The Linguistics Association of Great Britain : LAGB
