Inhalt: In this seminar, we will work with a variety of engaging texts from flash fiction and poetry to scholarly texts. Students will become familiar with a variety of reading strategies in a cooperative atmosphere. In addition, students will practice identifying purpose and organization of texts, while learning to read more critically and efficiently. All of these skills will help students to better master the challenges of reading a variety of university texts in English. Finally, I also hope that students will become more confident and passionate readers over the course of the semester.
