10ENGVOI - Core English: The Voiceless

Course Description

Overview

Do you feel like your opinions are taken seriously? Have you ever wondered why we believe what certain people tell us without questioning? Why are some people able to get others to stop and listen?

This module will look at why we believe and trust certain kinds of people, and why we doubt others. Often these assumptions are based on beliefs we have about people that are not at all true. 

First Half Year

In the first half year module, we will examine those beliefs and figure out how to listen and be heard through reading, viewing and listening to a range of texts. 

Second Half Year 

In the second half year module, we will look at how we can craft words to make sure that we’re heard by the right people. We will learn how to use existing beliefs and stereotypes in our culture to capture an audience. This is an option to change who holds the power of Voice in our society.
