Introduction to Literary Forms Najl 181

Course Description:

As an introduction to basic literary forms, Eng. 181 is, on the one hand, a continuation at a more advanced level of the reading skills of English 115 and an application of the writing skills of 114. On the other hand, it is a preparation for Eng. 251, 231, and 241. Its primary purpose is to provide the students with a foundation of elementary skills necessary for the reading of literature, those skills that will be more fully developed in the following introductory courses. To achieve its goal, the course concentrates on providing an elementary literary vocabulary as well as introduction and practice in the skills required for the reading of literature and for writing about it.
