Learning objectives
The workshop targets undergraduate students in Foreign Languages and Literatures.

Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the workshop, the student will acquire knowledge of the most important articulations and levels of narrative texts, and the ability to read and interpret them with methodological awareness. The student should be able to master covered concepts on the theoretical level and should be able to apply them appropriately and independently while reading narrative texts. The student should be able to identify the rhetorical and structural strategies, as well as the underlying worldviews.
