• American Pop Culture

The goal of this course is to look at American Pop Culture through the use of narratives, exploring how the American experience is communicated through different media, including books, graphic novels, television, movies, periodicals and websites. We will cover material from the 1850s to the present as we navigate through Naturalism, Realism, Modernism and Postmodernism and beyond. My hope is to not only make this journey entertaining, but to allow students to better understand the evolution of one of the most influential countries in history by examining its storytelling.

• American Humor and Satire

The goal of this course is to look at modern American Pop Culture by examining its use of humor and satire. We’ll be looking at humor and satire in terms of its historical context and how it helped to shape and define America’s freedom of speech.

• American Television

The goal of this course is to look at modern American storytelling as it’s presented through television. We will look at the traditions of American stories in the past and how these traditions are carried on today through a wide selection of specific television shows. Students will learn to recognize patterns and motifs in selected shows that not only enable the series’ success, but help to move the entire medium forward in terms of relevancy and storytelling.

Jednym z błędów najczęściej popełnianych przez Polaków używających języka angielskiego jest stosowanie kalek językowych, czyli dosłowne tłumaczenie z języka polskiego na język angielski. Na przykładzie 25 dialogów książka omawia kalki językowe stosowane przez Polaków i pomaga w opanowaniu właściwych zwrotów w języku angielskim. Do książki dołączone jest CD w formacie mp3 z dialogami.

Książka omawia niewłaściwe użycie niektórych fraz i struktur językowych przez Polaków. Aby dobrze opanować słownictwo i gramatykę języka angielskiego należy wiedzieć, jak funkcjonują one w naturalnym kontekście, jakie związki frazeologiczne mogą tworzyć i w jakich sytuacjach mogą być użyte. Te właśnie problemy wyjaśniają autorzy publikacji.
