The American Center will host five-week discussion sessions for the MOOC Camp English for Media Literacy. Offered by University of Pennsylvania and funded by the U.S. Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs Office of English Language Programs, this course is designed for non-native English speakers who are interested in learning more about U.S. media literacy. In this course, you will explore different types of mass media, such as newspapers, magazines, television, and social media. This course will also give you the opportunity to develop a broader understanding of the role media plays in our lives, while building your vocabulary and giving you the language skills needed to analyze what you read and watch.

Session 2: Monday, April 17, 5:00-7:00pm (Types of Media: Traditional vs. Social)
