English literature can effectively train students:
Reading comprehension, communication, analysis, and understanding how to use Western language to describe a complete case. These abilities are highly valued by many professions, such as teaching, business, finance, journalism, publishing, and even politics.
Introduction:
Course is intended for readers approaching the plays for the first time, who find the language of Elizabethan poetic drama an initial obstacle to understanding and enjoyment. Generations of students have complained that “Shakespeare was ruined for me at school”.
Usually a fuller appreciation of Shakespeare’s plays comes in later life, when the mind has matured and language skills are more developed. Often the desire to read Shakespeare for pleasure and enrichment follows from a visit to the theatre, where excellence of acting and production can bring to life qualities which sometimes lie dormant on the printed page.
Course:
Teachers use classroom speeches, online discussions, tests, course essays and other forms to effectively mobilize students’ learning enthusiasm, promote students’ positive thinking, and stimulate students’ potential. Through the study of this course, students can improve their understanding of English literature and culture, and improve their literary criticism and appreciation ability and English level.
