Building on knowledge and skills acquired from preliminary ENGLISH POETRY course in previous semester, this ADVANCED ENGLISH POETRY enables students to broaden and deepen their understanding of poetry, enhance their reading skills on poetry and develop their own voices through poetry writing assignments, and workshop participation, and prepare for the public presentations of their work by reading aloud and by preparing poems for submission to targeted media, either printed, or online publication.
The history of a language is the history of the people who speak it, those who read and write it, and those who come into contact with it. This is a course in which we will examine the origin and development of the English language, from its earliest beginnings in the misty past, through Old English (or Anglo-Saxon), Middle English, Early Modern English, and Present Day English, and across the post-modern globe. Language is a fundamental cornerstone of all human culture. The study of what language is and how it changes, and how these changes are grounded in parallel cultural changes, is therefore a subject of intrinsic value, especially to those interested in literature, linguistics, history, and cultural studies.
