A. Goal
1.Performance-oriented instruction: In the Mood for Loving English

This performance-oriented course, centered around the idea “learning from doing”, is designed to help students combine their professional training (in this semester, acting, directing and audiovisual production) with English comprehension (in particular listening, speaking, interviewing, writing and translating).

2. Dramatic demonstration: Raising the Red Lantern to Live in English

Students will demonstrate their provocative conceptualization through dramatic arrangement (15-20 min drama), literary journalism (a journal/ mini-magazine/ newspaper containing script, adaptation info, synopsis, cast’s words, ,characterization,…more) and digital publication (on-line web promoting + streaming, VCD production?). A review report is also required after the demonstration.

3. Joint drama presentation: Shakespeare in Love with English majors

For the first time ever, our presentations (3 sophomore production teams), together with 4 presentations from freshman students of English Department (SOCE), will be held at Science Library Theatre(理圖劇場)on May 7 (Sat). Details regarding mutual cooperation will be revealed later. Students Association at both sides has promised to work hand-in-hand.

4. Self-supporting Activity: Flexibility, Fairness, Fantasy

Each group will be in charge of its own production cost. Course consultation will be more flexible, and subject to change due to practical scheduling. Since three plays will be formalized be way of teamwork, distribution of labor and individual contribution will later be openly scrutinized and peer-evaluated.
