Welcome to your English first semester course. This full-time course will run during the autumn term 2021 (30 August-16 January). The course is based at the Växjö campus of Linnaeus University, Sweden.

The compulsory course introduction meeting takes place on Monday 30 August at 13.30-16.30 in Myrdal (in the K-building).
If you cannot attend your introductory meeting, please contact the course coordinator (see contact details at the bottom of this page), before the meeting takes place. If you fail to do this, we will assume that you are no longer interested and give your place to someone on the waiting list.

The English department uses a course management tool called MyMoodle. Please note that you will need a student account log-in to be able to access the course material in MyMoodle. This service opens about one week before the course starts.

Note that you will have to register on the course in order to be able to follow it. You can sometimes register online. However, if this does not work you will be registered when attending the compulsory introductory meeting.

If you decide not to take the course, after registering on it, please contact our Ladok secretary so that she can take you off the lists.

Please note that students who are not participating actively in the course during the first two weeks will be crossed off the register. If you have any further questions before the course starts, please do not hesitate to contact us.
