La représentation de Lyon dans les médias
This course is an experiential learning and immersive summer intensive 3 weeks course that takes students outside the classroom to engage in the course material in a real world setting, through visits of Lyon and the complex connections between art and the real world. We will work towards opening up your understanding of the variations of the French language in a local cultural context (Lyon patois). With an approach that is hands-on, collaborative and inclusive, the course develops comprehension and the mobilisation of knowledge such as savoir-faire, savoir-être and specific elements related to as study abroad program such as intercultural and interpersonal skills.
Offered in French and in Lyon (France), this course explores the vibrant literary and media culture of Lyon, through documents such as poems, graphic novels, comics, documentaries and movies. The course’s assignments will be submitted on Canvas and will reflect a diversity of format in respect to the Universal Design approach, from individual to group work, from text analysis to writing your own journal of your experience in Lyon with an exposure to drawings and creative writing with local experts.
