教育目標

■  課程目標 (Course Objectives) Students will build a solid foundation for their study of British, American, and other Western Literatures, languages, and cultural media in required and elective courses in the English Majors program. Included as part of this agenda, students will examine those authors and periods which figure prominently in many literature and culture courses in the FLLD. Students will also familiarize themselves with key literary and cultural concepts (allegory, chivalry, essay, political philosophy, religious writings, the romance, women writers, lyric poetry, the literature of exploration, etc.). This literature will be examined for the traces of influence wrought by Europe’s cultural indebtedness to the classical world, and the way it extends the logic of that world into the literature of later periods. The course will thus promote students’ understanding of the Western literary tradition while contributing to their conceptual and linguistic enrichment. Demonstrated on Quizzes, test, discussion, essay questions. Students will gain an understanding of the process whereby different aspects of Continental literature from the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Early Modern period and the period of exploration have become important influences on world civilization. Demonstrated on quizzes, tests, in discussions, essay questions. (to be continued)
