Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes
| The main objectives of this component of Persian 4 will be to address the works of several Iranian writers of the twentieth century and relate their careers and the style and substance of their literary contributions to trends and events in contemporary Iranian society. In the process we will evaluate other approaches to this material utilised to date. Thereby the course aims also to develop students analytical skills and to improve their interactive capacities and their ability to do secondary-source research and to present oral and written work clearly and effectively. |
