Students who have spent six or more weeks within one year and with max. one interruption (i.e. min. 42 days) in the same particular Anglophone region (region = usually not a whole country) compile a research-based report consisting of two parts: (1) a short account of their stay abroad in the form of a report that goes beyond a mere narrative (i.e. which includes some meta-level reflection on the experience); (2) an in-depth analysis of either linguistic or literary data in the context of the region in question that shows the student’s close familiarity with current research on a specific aspect of that region. The analysis is concerned with either a distinctive linguistic feature occurring in the particular region or an anglophone literary work which displays a strong connection to that region. |
| Learning outcomes | Students are able to: (a) elaborate research from the fields of literary studies, linguistics, and history on an advanced academic level; (b) present their findings in different text types and for different audiences. |
