In this course part, the most complex one, we have as a starting point exploring form and content in fiction (literature), literary periods subject areas related to society, culture, ethical issues, living conditions, attitudes, values and traditions, as well as social, political and cultural conditions in different contexts and parts of the world where English is used, the spread of English and its position in the world.

In addition, this course moment deals with:

- oral and written production and interaction of various kinds, also in more formal settings, where students instruct, narrate, summarise, explain, comment, assess, reflect, give reasons for their opinions, discuss and argue.

- strategies for contributing to and actively participating in discussions related to societal life.

- processing  of language  and structure  in their own  and others'  oral and written communications, and also in formal contexts.
