Level 2 English - English World Perspectives
2ENW Course DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Ms J. Moss.
12 English - World Perspectives (2ENW) is for students who are interested in considering novels and films differently. This course introduces basic Psychology -- as it applies to reading texts. If you enjoyed 11 English - Debates in Psychology, you may enjoy this course.
You will look at:
Sigmund Freud (Freud's Personality theory, Dream theory, conflict resolution)
Carl Jung (Jung's Personality theory, Collective Unconscious, and Archetypal Theory)
Using these theories we will focus on understanding character motivation, love and relationships, and tropes. We will also look at which narratives are shared and how these influence the audience.
This course requires students to enjoy reading and writing. Previously studied texts have included: The Book Thief, Vox, Ex-Machina, The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Handmaid's Tale, Imitation Game, and a wide selection of poetry and short stories.
There are 10 credits from internals and 8 credits from externals available (one of the externals is optional).
