Course description:
The opportunity to use English in a more fun, personal, imaginative way than often is the case, so as to make the language really your own. When we learn a foreign language, we are too often worried about making mistakes, whether vocab, syntax, phonetics, intonation, and there is not always enough time to get used to inhabiting the language, to living in it, thinking, playing, expressing oneself in it. Not always enough time for creativity, in other words. As a writer, writing facilitator, foreign language and literature teacher, I will help you construct something out of words, poetry or fiction, using my writing experience and literary knowledge. Some of you may have an experience of writing and know what you want to do, others may be turning to writing for the first time. Few of you will have an experience of co-writing or collective writing…
Course content:
• Writing workshops inspired by the following authors:
Vanessa Kisuule A Recipe for Sorcery “a recipe for retaliation”
Zaffar Kunial Us “W*nd”
José Olivarez Citizen Illegal
Michael Ondatjee Warlight
Sylvia Plath Crossing the Water “In Plaster“
Rae Marie Taylor Femmes rapaillées “Women like her“
• Co-writing or collective writing
• Mini-lectures on specific writing points
• Re-writing sessions
