Cilj kolegija je usvajanje visokih standarda u svim jezičnim vještinama (razina C2). Studenti razvijaju vještinu čitanja čitanjem različitih autentičnih tekstova kojima se dolazi do spoznaja o raznim vidovima kulturnog i društvenog života anglofonih zemalja. Vještina pisanja se razvija pisanjem eseja i sažetaka. Usavršavaju se govorne vještine, a studente se potiče na kritičko razmišljanje. Obogaćivanje vokabulara uključuje proučavanje idioma, kolokacija i fraznih glagola.  Studenti prevode kraće tekstove iz različitih područja pri čemu usvajaju neke osnovne principe prevođenja. Odabir odgovarajuće gramatičke strukture i leksika vrlo su značajne komponente prijevodne kompetencije, kao što je to i tekstualna kompetencija koja uključuje i osjećaj za uočavanje razlika u registru te osjećaj za prirodnost. Također, razvijaju se strategije učenja i osposobljavanje za samostalan rad.

Given the presence, influence, and constant development of the horror genre within the diverse spectrum of creative media, the course intends to frame and present some of its key developmental stages. Special emphasis will be placed on the American version of the genre which, relying on the European tradition of Gothic literature, creates its own distinctive expression primarily during the period of American Romanticism. It is here that voices like W. Irving, N. Hawthorne, C.B. Brown, E.A. Poe, and other literary authors, simultaneously advance world literature, while also defining the framework of the (American) genre. In addition to these literary templates, the course will explore the processes of adaptation of literary works, and the creation of new narratives within media such as film, television or computer games. With a diachronic-thematic overview, the course will explore the connection of certain authorial works with the period within which they are created, i.e. the ways in which the American horror genre indicates and articulates national political, social and cultural anxieties. In addition, special attention will be paid to the analysis of multiple theoretical concepts and discourses associated with this genre, more precisely, the correlation of dominant socio-cultural phenomena/narratives and the unrestrained genre-conditioned articulation and critique.
