Course contents
Learning objectives:
The course is compulsory for students who are defending the theoretical part of their Master´s thesis in a given academic year. It is recommended for all other students who are engaged in theoretical research and, in particular, are preparing to publish their results. It involves the presentation of one's own theoretical research, particularly related to the theoretical thesis, followed by a discussion. The course provides a platform for ongoing critical reflection on the theoretical output of composition students. Critical reflection is particularly applied to the elaborated texts in order to arrive at new perspectives on the issues under study and to refine the formulations.
