English in literature is very different from English in news media; one gives you information and the other gives you enjoyment. Literature appeals to your senses and makes you appreciate meanings of life. In this course, students will read selections from the masterpieces of English and American literature which have the theme of a journey in common.
In the second semester, we will read nineteenth-century to twentieth-century American prose and poetry. Since the reader's response is as important as the author's intention, students will have a group discussion and write their own opinions based on the discussion. Student's ability in reading and writing will be thus enhanced, along with acquisition of knowledge in basic literatry terms.
For most students, who may be beginners in reading literature, this course will be offer a chance to explore the unknown, a journey of discovery in the world of literature.
