| For advanced EFL speakers, the study of English literature presents both a challenge and an unparalleled opportunity to acquire near-native competence in comprehension of the techniques and beauties of the English language. Roughly a third of the courses on the programme are devoted to the study of literature. The EFL minor is taken by students for whom English is a foreign language in their home country (such as China or Japan). The EFL minor consists of modules which have a dual function: each module provides its own English language studies focus (e.g. Interpersonal Communication or English in Society) as well as providing English language improvement opportunities both for general and academic purposes. |
