English, Basic Studies 25 cr

English today enjoys a special status as a global language. It is written, spoken and understood throughout the world and has become the most important medium not only for international communication of all kinds (casual and informal, commercial and industrial, political and diplomatic, etc.) but also for the dissemination of scientific and scholarly research. This high status of English throughout the world requires high standards for the teaching of English on many different levels. The curriculum for English is therefore designed to address these requirements and to offer a carefully graded mix of courses in the fields of culture, language learning, linguistics, literature and professional language work as well as courses focusing on the practical aspects of using both written and spoken English.
