Contemporary trends in research on culture 3224-D3WKB
Classes are based on the discussion of assigned readings, preceded by an introductory overview by the lecturer. Each session familiarizes students with the historical background, research context of the field or orientation, developmental trajectories, and other relevant aspects. An integral part of the course is exploring possibilities for referencing and applying elements or complete concepts learned. Whenever possible, the course includes discussions with students on the issues addressed.

Assessment criteria
In accordance with the Detailed Study Regulations of the Faculty of Applied Linguistics (Resolution No. 114 of the Faculty Council of Applied Linguistics, dated December 19, 2017):
1.Attendance in classes included in the curriculum is mandatory (§ 9 sec. 2).
2.It is not possible to retake a course if the reason for not passing it was failure to meet the attendance requirement. In such cases, the student may be conditionally enrolled in the next stage of their studies and will have to retake the failed course (§ 2 sec. 4).
A maximum of two unexcused absences per semester is allowed; these must be made up in accordance with the requirements set by the instructor. Unexcused absences from class during the designated time will result in the loss of the first attempt at passing the course. The student has the right to make up for the absences and take the exam during the retake period.
Classes will be conducted in the form of discussions on assigned readings or material presented by the instructor. Active participation in discussions means substantial involvement in at least 50% of the classes.
2. Assessment Methods
The course concludes with a graded evaluation, verifying knowledge of the material covered during the semester, testing familiarity with the required readings, and assessing the information presented during classes. Students will respond to questions formulated by the lecturer, demonstrating their understanding of the readings and the topics discussed in class.
3. Grading Criteria The final grade consists of:
- Oral exam (70%)
- Substantive participation in class (30%) – students' engagement in discussions impacts the final grade.
Active participation in discussions means substantively contributing to at least 50% of the classes.
4. Grading Scale:
0%-49% → 2
50%-60% → 3
61%-70% → 3+
71%-80% → 4
81%-90% → 4+
91%-100% → 5
Additional knowledge → 5+
5. Teaching Methods Lecture-based teaching, discussion, guided discussion, brainstorming, instructor’s multimedia presentations, audiovisual materials, and small group work (depending on the topic of the class).
