At the same time, we go in depth with individual texts and periods, and we generally use literature and the topics it addresses to improve our reading and writing skills. Language teaching helps you, through work with both oral and written forms of communication, to understand how language works and works in practice. Culture and media teaching teaches you to analyze and understand a selection of both contemporary cultural and historical media expressions and phenomena.
