Language Improvement 340-AS1-1MODA3

Through a variety of interactive exercises, including text analysis, learning new vocabulary, speaking, and writing, this 20-hour course will put a special emphasis on enhancing students' English language proficiency and cultural awareness. We will discuss the relationship between language and media, including social media, movies, TV shows, and newspapers and magazines. At the same time, some of the topics we will cover may contradict your preconceptions of what "language" and "media" are.
The final grade will be based on attendance, participation, and the end-of-the-course project.
