OBJECTIF
The emphasis in this course is for students to acquire English language skills through investigating and making text-based art works. The subject matter presented and discussed in the courses will enable students to enlarge their vocabulary, not only in terms of presentation and discussion but also in the way they develop their practical work conceptually. Diverse uses of the language are encouraged, taking into account that English, for many students, is practice via social media, Messenger, WhatsApp, Google Translate, YouTube and so on.

CONTENU
Students will use the text based work, 'Non-Functional Thoughts', by artist Cesare Pietroiusti, published in book form. These Thoughts, or 'statements', will then be interpreted by the students and realised as works, art works - design, in the medium most conducive to the idea, and might include text and image, performative speech acts, live performed dialogue, still or moving images. 

MÉTHODE
Students will be encouraged to work collaboratively and in small groups, sharing ideas and developing proposals. Emphasis will be on the translation and transmission of works from one context to another. 

DÉROULÉ PÉDAGOGIQUE
The course emphasises the need for students to broaden their repertoire and acquire new skills that will make them better prepared for the uncertain future in front of them. ÉVALUATION
Participation in class discussion, oral presentations, production of practical works. 

SAVOIR-FAIRES
Expand student's awareness of conceptual and contemporary art works that use text and language as their media; acquiring and sharing the knowledge of the group; critical thinking and decision making; making oral presentations in English.
