Reading the World: Literature, Culture & Interpretation is an advanced, fully online self-paced course designed to develop learners’ literary, cultural, and interpretive competence in English. Through a carefully sequenced set of texts and tasks, students explore how literature reflects, shapes, and questions human experience across cultures and historical contexts.
The course engages learners with a wide range of literary genres, including short stories, poems, excerpts from novels, and cultural texts, supported by multimodal resources. Students are guided to move beyond surface comprehension toward critical interpretation, personal response, and intercultural awareness.
Structured around 13 asynchronous units, the course requires no live meetings. Each unit integrates reading, guided analysis, reflective writing, and creative or analytical tasks. Activities are aligned with CEFR descriptors and emphasize reception, production, interaction, and mediation skills.
By the end of the course, learners will be able to:
Analyze literary texts using key concepts such as character, theme, point of view, symbolism, and imagery
Interpret texts in relation to cultural and personal contexts
Compare texts across genres and perspectives
Communicate interpretations clearly through written, oral, and creative responses
Compile a reflective portfolio demonstrating literary growth and critical thinking
The course follows a Task-Based Learning (TBLT) approach and promotes independent learning, sustained engagement with texts, and meaningful interpretation rather than rote literary analysis. It is especially suitable for learners seeking to strengthen advanced reading, thinking, and interpretive skills in an academic English environment.
