    学习成果


    The courses offered by the English faculty serve a twofold purpose: to teach students to formulate 和 articulate their thoughts clearly 和 effectively in both our spoken 和 written language, 和 to help students develop a critical underst和ing of work by writers of American, 英国, 世界文学.

    在我们的基础课程之后, 英美文学调查和我们的“入门”课程, 英语专业的学生接触文学作品有五种不同的方式:

    • 宽度. 我们提供强调文学研究广度的课程. 课程包括 讽刺 和 20世纪英美诗歌 emphasize thematic, generic, or stylistic unity among otherwise disparate works of literature.
    • 深度. Other courses emphasize a depth of study, usually by focusing on individual authors, 如 莎士比亚 or 海明威, but also with courses focusing on a collection of authors within a single literary movement, 如 浪漫散文与诗歌 和 美国文艺复兴时期的文学.
    • 区别. Recognizing that the study of literature allows one to view the world from various perspectives, 我们提供强调不同时期文学的课程, 的地方, 或文化. 这些课程从散文开始, 诗歌, 从中世纪的戏剧到20世纪60年代以来的美国印第安文学.
    • 当代. 我们学习当代文学是因为，像T. S. 艾略特, we believe that just as current works are a response to those written in the past, 我们对旧作品的反应被现在的作品所改变. 课程包括 当代国际小说 很好地服务于这个功能.
    • 理论. 学习英语课程的学生很快就会知道，它不仅重要 什么 我们阅读但是 如何 我们读. 我们提供的课程有 性能理论 和 后现代主义 to help students better underst和 their own habits as readers 和 to broaden their critical arsenal. Students are introduced to thinkers who have historically shaped our modes of interpretation, 从亚里士多德到斯坦利·费什.

    带着我们的毕业证书, English majors draw together all they've learned—represented in a single paper.

    完成英语专业后，学生将能够

    • 分析文学文本的形式、结构和体裁;
    • 形成一篇论文，并以连贯统一的文章结构支持它。
    • 根据文本和上下文证据提出合理的论点，
    • 运用和整合学术材料;
    • 用清晰、自信的声音写散文.
