Year:	2018
Student Contribution Band:	Band 1
Administered by:	College of Arts, Society & Education

EL1008 Telling Tales: Approaches to Narrative introduces students to a range of literary and popular forms of narrative, and methods of analysis relevant to the study of literature, creative writing, and screen media. Story forms such as folk tale, fairy tale, and fable are discussed in comparison with complex narratives in literature, film, game, and television. Approaches to the theoretical concepts of genre, text, and medium complement literary approaches to reading developed throughout this subject.

• integrate knowledge of the diversity of cultures and peoples in the context of narrative and textual analysis;
