The student must learn to prepare, execute and evaluate teaching courses in the subject. This is done in accordance with the current teaching plan in the Faroese primary school.

The course is organized into several independent yet coherent parts: - Literary history - Literary genres and analysis concepts - Literature didactics and design - Analysis and interpretation of fiction - Work and assessment of facts - Multimodal texts - Production of own texts - Teaching literature and literary history
