In this course, participants will have an opportunity to learn and think and talk about some of today’s important discoveries and trends in what is known as popular or “everyday psychology.” Rather than textual interactions in the class, the instructor and his participants will seek to develop activities, tasks, and projects, so that the course can be dynamically facilitated. Class participants will also be expected to choose and explore their own topic(s) and search for the relevant materials about “everyday psychology” and share them with the class in the form of a class project which will constitute a major portion of the course credit. Active participation in all aspects of class activities is a must for this class, as the primary purpose of the class centers on the development of the participants’ English skills through the course content.
