Notes For PEACE and DLP students

【Course Objectives】

COURSE TOPIC: FLASH FICTION INTERNATIONAL
• To practice academic reading strategies including skimming, scanning, and intensive reading
• To read and analyze flash fiction from around the world in English
• To participate in class discussions in English

【Course Contents】

The course will focus on intensive reading of international flash fiction—short stories of several pages from around the world in English translation. Through regular in-class and out-of-class practice, students will develop strategies to more effectively understand and critically approach works of fiction of any length. In order to facilitate understanding of the texts, we will engage in both active and interactive reading exercises. Work in the course will involve analysis and summaries of the stories and discussion in class, one or two in-class presentations per student, and two short (1-2 page) reading response papers.
