LYST 247 - Language, Discourse, and Cinema: Implications for SchoolingSemester Hours: 3
This course 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. The course culminates in an exploration of the pedagogical implications of these linguistic/cinematic insights on language and literacy instruction in American schools.
