課程概述

Overview:
This course is designed to
train students to develop
the ability to construct
autonomously reading
responses that are both
aesthetic and interpretive.
Each session will be
composed of workshops,
lectures and whole-class
discussions. In addition to
analytical skills of reading
the three major genres of
literature, including short
story, poetry and drama, the
students will also learn how
contexts are significant in
appreciating a wide spectrum
of meanings generated from a
specific text. Every student
is required to keep a
reading journal to keep
track of experiences and
personal responses of first
reading and rereading.  

課程目標
By the end of the course,
each student is expected to
demonstrate intermediate
skills of analyzing literary
works in a process of
reading and proficient
synthesizing capacity of
relating a text to contexts
and other texts. Students
will also to learn how to
share and explain one’s
ideas about a particular
work, and defend them using
concrete supports from the
text.
