In the course, emphasis is placed on developing students´ reading skills and how to express themselves both orally and in writing. Students study syntax, as they analyse with the aim to understand the division of texts into sentence structures. Students also study the use of punctuation marks. The history of language and culture will be discussed from early centuries until modern times. The history of the Icelandic language, language changes and the relationship with other languages will be discussed. Students attend lectures, work on projects and hand in written assignments. Spelling exercises, which focus on particular grammar, are frequent and students learn the corresponding grammar rules. Once a week there are progressive training lessons which focus on oral expression. Students read one Icelandic novel and work on individual assignments as well as group assignments.

The final grade of the course is based on a final exam and variety of assignments such as a wide range of tasks based on oral expression, spelling and writing skills.
