MORE ABOUT THE COURSE


This is an intermediate/upper-intermediate 4-6 weeks course taught in a mini-group of 6 to 8 students. The course offers ESL instruction in speaking/listening, writing/reading and cross-cultural communication skills relevant to the fields of art and design.

It provides an in-depth review emphasizing oral presentation, descriptive essay development, art terminology and language skills relevant to artists and designers. Classes of English for Art Professionals teach students how to refine all language skills while learning about various art and design disciplines:

• to increase art and design vocabulary,

• to improve reading skills by developing effective reading strategies,

• to get familiar with academic vocabulary on art and idiomatic speech,

• to practice oral skills through methods and materials that enhance students' artistic and academic performance,

• to practice cross-cultural communication and interaction with colleagues at exhibitions, conferences and art fairs.

DURATION OF THE COURSE

The full course is 10 lessons (approximately 25 hours). The recommended timing is 5 hours a week (each lesson is 2,5 hours with a 15 minute break). However, the module structure of the course allows to teach it selectively in the form of workshops at the choice of a client.

Placement test is highly recommended before taking the course.

  

What is International Art English and how different it is from International language of Art?


“The internationalized art world relies on a unique language. Its purest articulation is found in the digital press release. This language has everything to do with English, but it is emphatically not English. It is largely an export of the Anglophone world and can thank the global dominance of English for its current reach. But what really matters for this language—what ultimately makes it a language—is the pointed distance from English that it has always cultivated. In what follows, we examine some of the curious lexical, grammatical, and stylistic features of what we call International Art English.”
