Writing Myth, Reading Culture: An Introduction to Folklore Studies
This course will provide students with a foundation in working in English to conduct studies of folklore . Working through a series of comparative case studies, your class activities will be based around group discussions, presentations, in-class readings and student-led work - each designed to help develop your verbal and analytic skills in English language. Students will examine folklore from a cross-cultural perspective, exploring folktales, ghost stories, myths and legends from the geographical East and West. As well as assessing the role of folklore from both contemporary and historical viewpoints, the class will also introduce students to methodological approaches in the investigation of folklore. You will be required to write a research paper and give short presentations in English, as well as to undertake various homework tasks throughout the course (readings, creative assignments, compiling research etc.). The class will be based on in-class discussion, written responses and presentation of ideas in English.

The first week's classes will be held online and used for class orientation. In this class, the professor will introduce the course content (including details of assessment and schedule), disseminate contact information, and conduct trouble-shooting exercises.
Classes will meet via Zoom for the first week only. Learning tasks for Week 1 will be made available on the class UTOL (ITC-LMS) page shortly before the class begins. A link to the first Zoom class will be posted on UTOL.
