Englisch C1 Oberstufe (13)

Storytelling is a basic human activity. Why we tell stories may differ from case to case. Stories exist to delight, instruct or console us. Some stories warn; others enlighten and inspire. At the root of the narrative urge is the conviction that there are some truths we can only express in stories. This course is an analysis of such stories to find and express their meanings. Participants will be required to read, analyse and express their ideas in a class discussion.
