Description

Module descriptionÌý

The aim of this module is to develop skills in the reading and comprehension of mainly BokmÃ¥l to near native proficiency and to raise the learner's awareness of foreign language learning processes and strategies. During the module the students will be exposed to different types of original fictional and non-fictional texts and materials, including articles, literary texts, TV debates, films, and speeches.
