Chapter Report
The chapter report is to be submitted on the day of the lecture. It has to be succinct but
comprehensive. The format is enclosed.
Presentation
Students work in groups. Each group will perform in two weeks/sessions: one on the
theoretical aspects of the assigned chapter (not to exceed 20 minutes), and the other on
an analysis of a sample text (not to exceed 30 minutes). Presenters will be assessed
both individually and as a group.

Text analysis
Students (in groups assigned according to the presentation) analyse an approximately
half-a-page-long intact text (after being retyped in times new roman, 12 points, single
spaced). Students will be assessed on accuracy of analysis, interpretation of the results,
and presentation of the report.

This test will cover all the course materials, probing both theoretical knowledge and
analytical skills.
