LU2-NOR415 Norwegian 2b 5-10

Contents and structure

In Norwegian 2B the history of literature is continued into the 1900s. Otherwise the course focuses on composite text and writing teaching. The students will be given insight into the theory of writing as a basic skill for all subjects. Emphasis is placed on the subject text and argumentation as an important skill for writing, and the students will be taught in writing didactics and are expected to try this in their own practice. Students must also analyse and assess composite texts, and the work with these texts will result in an exam folder. Norwegian society is in a multi cultural situation, and our language and language teaching are undergoing change. Aligned to this, Norwegian as a second language and sociolinguistics will also bean important topic.
