🌎 How can we create meaning in a seemingly meaningless world? What is the purpose of art and the role of the artist amidst destabilizing political change? Explore how poets of the Dada movement embraced the absurd as a tool of protest and social criticism in the early 20th century! In this session we will learn what Dada poetry is, read a few examples, then write our own nonsense poems! 🎤Please come with a working microphone and something to write (or type) with. 📚Sharing your work is optional, but I highly encourage everyone to participate (answering questions or reading out the examples) during the session!!!

This series will be geared towards Non-Native English Speakers but Native English Speakers are more than welcome. This series will cover English Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing to prepare you for the EF Standard English Test (SET) Certification at the end of the course. There will also be a study on the Culture and History of English which will be at the end because it isn't tested on the EF SET.

We will go over how to succeed on the AP Language and Composition's 2nd essay, the Rhetorical Analysis, as well as some tricks for other parts of the AP Lang exam. You will need to be able to access Google Docs, and you should have at least a B1 level of English.

Each week we will discuss a different text (or part of a text) relating to Western Philosophy. I will do my best to offer PDFs of the texts and ask you to read them before coming to a session, where we will then discuss the contents of the text. I will do my best to go over the main points of a text before we discuss our opinions, expect 15 minutes of summary to 45 minutes of discussion. 👍 This course is very much not decided, and we can jump around texts as people so desire, however I will try to stay in a general chronological order with the texts. The amount of time we spend on each is up to you guys :)
