Name of Programme / Training Resource Introduction to Literature
Type of Training Individual standalone programme
Reference Number GSU 1109
Description This course is a college level introduction to literature in which the student will learn to think and react to literature in a meaningful manner. Students will be able to distinguish between literary genres and build general and specific interpretive skills that will make them capable and discerning readers of imaginative literature. The structure of this course is two-fold: materials will be presented according to genre and fewer texts will be examined in order to provide a more in-depth study rather than an extensive sampling. The successful completion of this course will yield a recognition of how literature and human imagination plays a vital part in the Christian pilgrimage and ministry and learn to evaluate ideas and apply learning to life situations.
