American Expression: The South (IN-PERSON)

En este curso de 30 horas de ACS, impartido presencialmente para alumnos con un nivel avanzado de inglés, se examinará el concepto de la prosperidad a través de una análisis de la cultura y la historia del sur de los EEUU. 

This trimester we will examine the American South’s rise, fall, and enduring complexity. Through an analysis of the region’s history, socioeconomic evolution, and culture (literature, music, film, essays, drama, journalism, etc.) students will gain a deeper understanding of the factors that define it.

This course will expand and strengthen students’ expression and comprehension skills in English, as well as their knowledge of American culture.

Course designed for learners with an Advanced or Proficiency level of English.
