Course Description: The Certificate in English Literature (CEL)

The Certificate in English Literature is a comprehensive course designed to provide students with a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of English literature. The course comprises of 80 direct teaching hours, 240 notional hours, and 3600 Artificial Intelligence based teaching hours. It is designed for teachers, graduates, G.C.E O/L, G.C.E A/L, CAIE, EDEXCEL students, and anyone who is passionate to learn English Literature from beginner’s level.

This course covers a wide range of literary genres, including poetry, and fiction, from both contemporary and classic periods. The course focuses on developing a deep understanding of literary analysis, critical thinking, and interpretation of various texts. Students will be exposed to a variety of works, including novels, plays, and poems, by some of the greatest writers in English literature, such as William Shakespeare, John Keats, Franz Kafka, and many others.

The course is structured to enable students to progress from the basics to the intermediate level of literary analysis. The direct teaching hours will consist of lectures, discussions, and group work, where students can engage with each other and the instructor. The notional hours will be dedicated to self-study and practice, including reading and writing assignments, research projects, and individual and group presentations.

Upon completion of this course, students will be able to analyze and interpret literary texts with confidence, write critically and creatively, and appreciate the beauty and significance of English literature. The Certificate in English Literature will provide students with a solid foundation for further academic pursuits, such as pursuing a degree in English literature, or for those who wish to explore English literature for personal interest.
