This course guides students to study and analyze different types of media and pop culture in English. Students will learn and think about different roles and functions of English language in the media and popular culture from critical and cultural perspectives. Texts and media representations from different cultural materials that shape pop culture such as advertisements, movies, television programmes, novels, popular music, and new media will be employed to illustrate cultural globalization, as well as glocalization, through English-language cultural production and consumption.
Note
- ENGL A236F and ENGL A106F (English in Media and Popular Culture) form an excluded combination. Students should not take both courses that form excluded combination, as only one of the courses of the excluded combination can count towards a single award.
