In the Footsteps of Medieval Troubadours

Svetlana Danilina

Summary

I would like to offer to the audience a creative challenge that my university students were subjected to. For their ESP class I used authentic medieval troubadour verses to get the students acquainted with the vocabulary typical for this type of poetry, to feel its prosody, and try their hand at composing their own troubadour style stanza.

Biodata

I teach an ESP course to the students of history and philosophy at Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv. My professional interests include applying the principles of communicative approach in the EMI classroom, researching effective vocabulary acquisition and teaching academic writing.
