This course is meant to provide L2 students with a comprehensive understanding of British culture and history without veiling English language. Through a series of lectures, which include a variety of classroom tasks and activities, L2 students will explore the diverse heritage of the United Kingdom, the character of their society, their institutions, famous figures and events that have shaped British culture and society. These topics will not only enrich the students’ cultural knowledge, but also strengthen their language skills through discussions, writing prompts and of course their vocabulary. By the end of the course, they will have gained a greater appreciation for the rich diversity and complexity of the UK and its people.
