Annotation
Students will explore aspects of British daily life such as sport and leisure activities, television and other media, the town/country divide, eating habits. This course aims not only to show how the whole, varied culture of a nation helps to create an understanding of its language and literature, but also to encourage reflection on the most effective ways to teach cultural studies.
