Learning activities and teaching methods
Work with Text (with Book, Textbook)
Learning outcomes
The goal of the creative writing workshop is to develop students' creative writing skills (at least at the B2 level). Writing their own texts allows students to perceive texts of all kinds as carefully crafted structures, thereby unconsciously developing a sense for a "new" way of perceiving text (i.e., how to read a text?). The writing workshop focuses primarily on three genres: prose, poetry, and journalism.
Students will practice writing texts independently in three main genres: prose, poetry, and journalism. Students will be able to view any text as a carefully crafted structure and understand how it works internally.
Prerequisites
The seminar is intended for all students of the Palacký University. Knowledge of German language at B2 level is a prerequisite for completion of the course.
