Faculty of Humanities, Tunis English Department 2018-2019 First year Key concepts in civilisation and culture Course objectives This course is an introduction to the British civilisation. It aims to give first year students an insight into life in the United Kingdom. The course will be structured around political, social and cultural key concepts. The British context would serve as an example to explain these notions since the country stands for an outstanding example from the English-speaking world. There will be a combination of lectures and in-class discussions of assigned readings. Short writing assignments and quizzes will be given out in class from time to time. Students are expected to participate in discussion and encouraged to ask questions and give comments on the readings when appropriate. There are at least 3 objectives for this course: • The first is to provide students with a body of knowledge about some general key concepts. This knowledge is meant to be a background f or your education and professional life. • The second objective is to help you become better writers, by asking you to identify problems, analyse mate rials, evaluate options, and make your own argument s and conclusions. This objective will be achieved via in-class short writing assignments and written exam dissertations. • The third objective is to encourage you to think critically. Civilisation and history are more than a compilation of facts. A historian does not only describe and tell stories of the past as they were recorded. The interpret ation often i nfluences the f inished product. To understa nd the w orld, you need to know his tory, have your own interpretation of it and develop critical thinking skills decisive in shaping your future.
