Industry

The program serves the Palestinian national strategy of mutual understanding and cooperation in education. Through an MA in English-Comparative Literature, the Department of English at An-Najah National University is ambitious to recruit students from other countries who would be engaged in joint research and short-term visits to learn about Arabic literature and particularly the translated Palestinian literature within a comparative context. Through the available exchange programs with Europe and the US, there is the possibility of reaching out the outside world with the Palestinian voice and just cause through the encoded messages that Palestinian literature has. The program will also allow for conducting comparative studies across nations and cultures.

 

Teaching and Learning

The master's program in English-comparative literature adopts progressive educational styles. While lectures and seminars are necessary to introduce students to the main conceptual and theoretical frames, other methods such as task-based, problem-solving, project-based, group-work, peer feedback, and case study methods will be frequently used to foster student's independent learning and critical and analytical skills. We adopt a student-centered approach to guide students to produce original knowledge. The students will be required to conduct independent and original research for each course they take.

 

Coursework and Assessment

In line with the non-traditional teaching and learning methods, the program utilizes modern assessment tools and methods such as presentations, portfolios, team presentations, team research, and conference presentations.
