The content and objectives of the course require students to have basic theoretical knowledge of the history of Ukrainian and Foreign literature which they acquired in secondary schools.

The aim of the course is to give the students the basic knowledge and skills in contemporary literary analysis. Recent practice of shortening of the literary courses at a secondary school results in the lowering of the students’ competence in the theoretical component of literary studies. The tasks of the course are to enlarge the competence of freshmen and to better their skills in contemporary literary analysis, to help them acquire the new knowledge for the further courses in literary history at the university level. The successful work of an applicant to the educational program “Bachelor of Philology” fully depends on the level of the philological education received at school as well as at the introductory stage of the literary studies in this program.

Меthods of teaching: lecture, seminar, control test, self-study on the course. At classes of the lecture part the elements of research are introduced to give the students a chance to classify different kinds of literary criticism and samples of the texts based on the critical approaches of the 19th-20th cc. Seminars are held according to the plans distributed beforehand. Module test papers provide for variants with individual assignments. Monitoring of systematic self-study on the topics of the course is held in the form of quick oral questioning during the class.
