LYST 247 - Language, Discourse, and Cinema: Implications for Schooling
January
Explores the techniques of cinematography-the “language of film”-in order to
examine how film conveys meaning, as well as how this expressive system has become
one of the most rapidly evolving forms of symbolic communication. This sort of
knowledge base is a prerequisite to any deeper exploration of specific aspects
of cinema, such as the second focus of the course, which is to consider the language
within film by examining a selection of English-language motion pictures for linguistic
insights about the relationship between language, culture, and identity. Course
culminates in an exploration of the pedagogical implications of these linguistic/cinematic
insights on language and literacy instruction in American schools.
