Learning objectives

This course prepares students with cultural knowledge and essential professional skills for careers that involve creating, editing, publishing, and distributing narrative content in various forms. These include literature, comics, animation, TV series, cinema, and any other forms that use storytelling as a way to communicate.


The course also focuses on creating content for children and animation.

Its goals are twofold: first, to provide a strong foundation in English and American culture and literature, both of which have a major influence worldwide; and second, to equip students with essential skills in specific fields, such as writing for film and television, the publishing industry, the history and production of animation, and creating content for children's literature and TV series.
