Outline and objectives

English Application is an integrated 4-language skill communication course with a focus on an English for Academic Purposes (EAP) or English for Specific Purposes (ESP) content area. This course will examine how the great changes happening from around 1400 to 1600 affected Renaissance art, and we will also observe how Renaissance art was a reflection of social and cultural change.

Goal

The goal of English Application is to give Post-SA students a forum to continue to use and enhance their English Communication skills. The Renaissance was a historical period that brought profound changes in literature, science, government, and social customs. It is, however, perhaps best remembered for its artistic developments. Starting in Italy in the early 1400s and continuing into the Netherlandish Renaissance of Northern Europe, we will look at specific artists that embody these periods, their broader artistic context, and discuss the social and cultural changes taking place that influenced their work.
