COLWRIT 21A 002 - SES 002Language, Culture, Oral Fluency, and The Spoken Word

Spoken Word is the continuation of the ancient human tradition of storytelling and song, long before the appearance of the written word, the printing press or text messages. The class is designed to develop students’ communicative competences by exploring the Spoken Word, or the reciting of contemporary literature, song and poetry. Students will participate in classroom activities which include speaking and the oral interpretation, or reading aloud, of prose and poetry, along with group work and response journal assignments. The class aims to improve both your fluency and accuracy in English, to focus on the rhythm, sound, and pulse of language, as well as to improve listening comprehension and critical vocabulary.

COLWRIT 22M 001 - SES 001 Intensive English Practice: Art and Design

The aim of this course is to develop students’ communicative competence through an exploration of art and local museums. Through this course, students will become familiar with the language used to discuss the elements of art and the principles of design and will use this vocabulary to talk about art with evidence, to do close analyses of art as text, and to discuss art in its cultural and historical contexts.

COLWRIT 31A 002 - LEC 002American Language and Culture: Food for Thought

Many sociocultural and economic factors affect the ways individuals and groups manage food. This  course focuses on current food movements and trends in the US--and the many ethical, cultural, and financial aspects that both underlie and result from them. Students will examine this topic through a wide variety of sources: readings, films, music, guest speakers, lectures, video clips, panel discussions, individual research, and personal experience.
