English for Knowledge, Culture and Innovation University of Wroclaw

Overview

The English for Knowledge, Culture and Innovation programme from University of Wroclaw will also provide a thorough grounding in English and American literary works.

The second year of the course gives the students a choice between two modules: Global English Cultures and Languages and Psycho-Pedagogical Aspects of Language Acquisition. The classes in the former aim to equip the students with linguistic, cultural and literary competences to help them further their own research interests. They will include the varieties of the English language, pragmatics and intercultural communication as well as experimental methods in studies on language and mind. Historical, social, political and cultural aspects of English, American or Canadian texts will be part of the course, too.

The latter module focuses on language acquisition, psychology of language learning, language processing and intercultural approaches to language development.
