HCMC – The English for Artists Workshop
An experimental English teaching course specialized in Art: 09 – 16 Jun 2013
Deadline to register: 08 Jun 2013
From the organizer:
Come to an experimental English teaching course specialized in Art. These courses will be for artists, or for someone who need to use English to do research on contemporary art (journalists, for example)
These courses are in a project named “Seven Days in English for Art”, a project we collaborate with artist Nguyen Tran Uu Dam, who will be the main teacher for the course.
This course is focus on skill of communication, understanding terminilogies, self-presentation/promotion in English
Artist and curator Nguyen Nhu Huy from ZeroStation will be responsible in explaining/interpreting English aesthetics/artistic/cultural terminologies that have been often used in international contemporary art forum, while artist Nguyen Tran Uu Dam will be responsible in helping participants to speak/listen correctly in terms of grammar/pronunciation in English, etc.
Particularly speaking, this is the English course that does not try to provide ALL English skills as in a normal course. On the contrary, this course only tries to find way to furnish necessary and practical skills for ARTIST in order to help him/her in practical art world situations. For this reason, the course only focus in SOME areas of vocabulary and specialised skill.
