Page 1 of 6

1. Introduction
BENG021 is the second module in the Pre-Degree English course. This semester’s course looks at poetry, academic writing, and comparative film and literature study. The course also builds on the first semester and language and comprehension will be assessed as well in this semester. This pre-degree module is designed to provide student with the foundational skills necessary to pursue tertiary studies at an English-medium institution. It is essential that students at tertiary education level be able to write responses that are logical, meaningful, and informative. Not only does English usage have to be grammatically correct, the ideas expressed in answers must be appropriate and well considered.

Remember: Keep your BENG011 study guide! The language, grammar, and writing you did in BENG011 are tested and applicable in BENG021, and lecturers will not be re-teaching any first semester content.

2. Module outcomes
At the end of this module, students should be able to:


Demonstrate skills in English comprehension and expression.



Demonstrate a critical awareness of poetry.



Demonstrate the ability to research and present on a general topic in an academic essay.



Demonstrate critical awareness and analysis of a text and movie adaptations of that text.

    he conveys the perspective of human conflict as being gruesome, monstrous and full of unthinkable hardships and reveals the reality of war. He conveys this by using strong emotive verbs that make a graphic image in the mind of the reader and emphasises the pain and suffering the soldiers are going through for example in Dulce Et Decorum Est he uses the words “choking”, “guttering”, “smothering” and “drowning”. These words are disturbing and really highlight the reality of war and get his perspective across to the reader. Similarly he uses onomatopoeia and imagery to create the horrendous sights and sounds of war in the responders mind. In Anthem for Doomed Youth he uses onomatopoeia and sound imagery in the lines “Only the shuttering riffles’ rapid rattle “and “The shrill, demented choir of wailing shellssfdsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss-…
