This course aims at initiating sophomore students to the inner workings of literature. It
intends, albeit holistically, to forge the figure of the literary reader. Knowingly, literature is
the place where logos (speech), pathos (emotion), and ethos (character) coagulate. Thus said,
the literary reader has to hone his/her use of language, heighten his/her affectivity, and
develop sensitivity towards moral betterment.
In so doing, the purpose of this course (Extensive reading) is to introduce students to short
literary texts in a way that combines literary jargon with literary genres (poetry, fiction and
drama). The aim is, in other words, to provide students with the necessary skills and tools to
read and interact with short literary texts and pave the way to longer forms of literature.
Therefore, the EXTENSIVE READING course learning outcomes will be:
