Fundamentals of Text, Language and Creative Writing

The seminar introduces various text forms and their specific means of expression. Through joint reading and analysis, students gain skills in using text and language as creative tools and learn to name and distinguish between different text genres. Simple exercises in creative and applied writing are also designed to help reduce fear of writing, build confidence in text production and develop a personal voice. Each seminar unit also includes a short input session that provides students with terms that facilitate discussion of the micro and macro levels of text and advance the content.

For the block seminars, the 2nd semester is divided into 4 groups.
