Description:

Prereq. EN 250 or EN 310 or EN 311; EN 330; Integrated Communication Level 4 - Topics change from semester to semester, but all courses in this series deal with some aspect of international literature. Through reading literature from different cultures, the student experiences a global sense of literature that puts her education in American and English literature into a wider context. While certain courses may focus on a canonical survey approach (by investigating literature from the ancient, medieval, and contemporary worlds), others may focus on the contemporary novel in Africa, Japan, China, India, and South America. Regardless of the particular approach, such an eclectic exploration allows the student to expand her investigation of how culture influences genre, meaning, and literary technique. It also allows her to strengthen her advanced-level abilities in communication, analysis, aesthetic engagement, and valuing in a global arena.
