Description

The English language becomes one's own when one is able to use it to reach one's goals and one of the objectives of the students of English Philology at the University of Latvia, is to learn the key concepts of literary studies. Attaining the desired proficiency in literary analysis is a complicated task, as it requires not only a very good understanding of both spoken and written English language, but also ability to understand and operate with terminology students are not acquainted with. The research examines the terms and knowledge that are necessary for the beginners of English Philology studies to deal with some of the key texts in the field of literary studies and some methods used to help students to master the complexities of the field.
