Course content

Language and literature are the two disciplinary characteristics of the Norwegian subject and are fundamental subject areas in all Norwegian didactic research. Language and language didactics, like literature and literature didactics, are broad subject areas that include, among other things, cognitive, socio-cultural and aesthetic theories. The course offers both a broad and deep insight into such theories, and prepares the candidates to use these in their own research and in practice. In particular, the course focuses on theories about and views on language and literature, and on didactic perspectives that are relevant for Norwegian education. The students will read and analyze oral and written language, non-fiction and fiction from the present and past. Children's and young people's language, children's and young people's literature and children's and young people's oral and written text creations are given particular importance. Central to the subject is also work with aesthetic, creative and exploratory processes in the Norwegian subject. The course focuses on education, and a central aim in the course is therefore that the student's own development as language and literature teachers. Throughout the term, both a general syllabus is taught for all the candidates and the students choose to specialize on either language or literature.
