ESL SP02L - American Literature (38) |
Web Description~ In this course, participants will enhance their understanding of U.S. culture by reading samples of classic and contemporary North American short stories, poems, plays, and novel excerpts. Learners will develop their ability to read, discuss, and analyze the settings, plots, and characters of various works while identifying the use of literary terms and devices. By independently and conscientiously completing at least three hours of weekly reading and vocabulary homework, students will increase both active and passive vocabulary that may be encountered on standardized tests, in university classes, and in casual conversations. Participants will also see how some works of famous American literature have been brought to life on TV, in films, and on the stage.
