1 Engelska språket och litteraturen

1.1 Presentation Akademiska studier i engelska språket och litteraturen har en betydligt vidare målsättning än skolans språkundervisning. Förmåga att uttrycka sig väl på det främmande språket är ett grundläggande krav. Även om färdighet i språket också ingår som ett moment i utbildningen på universitetsnivå, utgör det endast en del av den. De andra huvudmomenten är språkvetenskap, litteraturkännedom och kulturkunskap.

Inom momentet språkvetenskap tillägnar sig den studerande en grundläggande begreppsapparat för beskrivning av språk och förklaring av språkliga företeelser. Den språkvetenskapliga delen av studierna omfattar allmän språkvetenskap, fonetik, grammatik, analys av olika slags texter och samtal i sina sammanhang, sociolingvistik, språkhistoria samt olika aspekter av språkinlärning och språkundervisning.

Med litteraturkännedom avses insikter i det engelska språkets litteratur, förmåga till kritisk bedömning av de lästa verken, samt kunskap om de engelskspråkiga ländernas litteraturhistoria. Det djupare studiet av litteratur utvecklar grundläggande insikter i litteraturvetenskapens och -kritikens metoder och terminologi.

Med kulturkunskap avses kunskap om värderingar, levnadssätt, media samt politiska och sociala institutioner i de engelskspråkiga länderna, i synnerhet Storbritannien och USA. De nyaste rönen inom såväl språk- som litteraturvetenskapen betonar att förståelsen för ett språk hör ihop med dess sociokulturella kontexter. Kulturen är alltså av central betydelse för språkstuderande och bör aldrig betraktas endast som språkets ”bakgrund”.

Alla studerande antas först till den allmänna linjen, men kan från och med första höstterminen söka till de mer yrkesinriktade linjerna, linjen för ämneslärare och linjen för språk och ekonomi. På kandidatnivån är studierna i engelska desamma på alla tre linjer, med undantag av att studerande på allmänna linjen har möjlighet att ta extra kurser i engelska istället för ett andra biämne.

På magisternivån erbjuds studerandena på allmänna linjen möjligheten att välja enbart engelska kurser i sin magisterexamen istället för att läsa ett biämne. Detta alternativ rekommenderas speciellt varmt för sådana studerande som planerar fortsätta med forskarstudier. På lärarlinjen ingår två obligatoriska specialkurser som är riktade till blivande lärare på alla nivåer. Linjen för språk och ekonomi är specialiserad på fackspråk och andra kunskaper som behövs i affärsvärlden. Utöver de för alla och enligt linje obligatoriska kurserna, erbjuds också årligen ett antal valbara kurser av vilka en del undervisas medan andra kan utgöra läskurser.

Studerande på allmänna linjen och linjen för språk och ekonomi kan också välja att avlägga de kurser som ämnet kräver för ämneslärarlinjen och kan senare välja att avlägga de pedagogiska lärarstudier som krävs för att uppnå full ämneslärarbehörighet.

Utöver HF:s gemensamma allmänna studier bör den som studerar engelska som huvudämne eller biämne observera att kursen Allmän språkvetenskap (kurskod 100008.0) är obligatorisk. Av studerande på allmänna och lärarlinjen krävs även kursen Latin I (907910.0) på magisternivån.

Rätten att studera engelska som biämne erhålls via urvalsprov.
