Applied English for Arts

Applied English for Arts (AEA) employs a communicative and applied approach, that is to say, the material used and the areas, situations and topics covered will be mostly related to the students' work environment and there will be an emphasis on the ability to "communicate and use" the language rather than learn "about" the language.

There will be no pre-teaching of grammar and vocabulary. Rather the students are plunged directly into an English atmosphere relating to their life and work (semi-immersion) with grammar and vocabulary points explained when needed along with the flow of the lesson.

The course may cover areas such as the following depending on the needs of the students:

 

Museum and gallery visits
 

Presenting and discussing artworks (a painting, a sculpture etc)
 

Presenting an artist and discussing his style
 

Describing architecture and historical buildings
 

Conducting an art workshop in English
 

Discussing different artistic periods (Antiquity, Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, Contemporary Art, etc) and artistic movements (impressionism, cubism, etc)
 

Correct pronunciation of technical terms related to arts
 

Reading art texts, journals etc and using art websites
 

Understanding TV art news and art-related videos
