Designed for high-intermediate to advanced students, CESL 085 will familiarize students with a variety of media in English, including song, film, and television, and provide them with strategies for increasing their comprehension of these media. This course will focus on informal English, particularly slang and idioms, and cultural references and background information which contribute to our understanding of our media environment. Students will be encouraged to become more involved in the cultural environment in which they are currently living.
Prerequisite: CESL 024 or equivalent.
