ARTS, SOCIAL SCIENCE, AND HUMANITIES
Course Description:
In this course, learners explore a variety of contemporary and enduring literary works that reflect diverse experiences, cultures and issues, produced since 1945, from the Philippines and around the world. Designed to foster a deep appreciation of literature, using analysis as a means rather than an end, the course encourages learners to engage with literature on a personal and cultural level through reflective reading, listening, and viewing; discussion and other forms of interaction; and written, spoken, and multimodal responses. Learners will consider how contemporary literature, including written, oral, digital, and performance forms and genres, draws on traditional literature and responds to a changing world. Through their engagement with contemporary literature, learners will develop empathy, cultural awareness, and critical thinking.
