Curriculum
Typical features of our semesters include:
- Collaborative Learning Experiences - classes are interactive and inclusive with students expected to share their business experiences in English so that everyone (including the teacher!) can learn. The aim is to initiate a sharing-and-learning environment that will contribute to the students' daily business activities. Students generally need to prepare one piece of information or material (e.g. an article, a podcast, a video - anything) to share with everyone based on the class topic for that week. Students will briefly present their materials in advance of the discussion-focused class. Supplemental content will be used as necessary.
- Content Business Trends - current trends in contents business will be explored through video, news articles and debate.
- Influential Creatives - students will examine through video interviews, how influential creatives in various content fields.
- Global Licensing Live Chats - our popular real-time discussions with licensing professionals around the world. Students get to interact with key market players/influencers to discuss market situations and business opportunities.
- Show & Tell - students are tasked with presenting a pre-chosen subject in a short three slide x 30 second per slide style in the spirit of the PechaKucha format. Examples of previous topics include "The Movie, TV Program or Book That Influenced Me The Most" or "If I Transformed Into A Famous Actor.....Who and Why?"
