On May 29, 2019, YSUIB Faculty of Humanities, “Foreign language and Literature” Department hosted an open lesson within the framework of “Foreign Literature” course, entitled “Literary Readings”, organized by Assistant of the Department, PhD Christine Dadyan.
The lesson was attended by Acting Dean of YSUIB Faculty of Humanities, Associate Professor of the Deep of Armenian Language and Literature, PhD. Karine Poghosyan, Deputy Dean of the same Department, Associate Professor of Department of Armenian Language and Literature, PhD. Vahan Aghababyan, Christine Dadyan and students.
The event was as follows: students should select the literature fragments they liked handing an orange to the reader. Whoever collects high amount of orange, becomes the winner and receives the main prize. It was a puzzle for everyone why the choice was made of oranges.
Ani Asryan became the winner with the monologue by Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” tragedy “To be or not to be…”. The prize was Anthony Burgess’s “A Clockwork Orange” satirical dystopia, the most famous literary work of the 20th century. Thus the puzzle was resolved.
Poghosyan delivered a speech, stressing that the alternative lesson revealed the students from different angle. She added that the students had exceptional literary taste and many of them were distinguished by the right and impressive reading.
Both the students and the guests expressed their impressions and thanked for a beautiful lesson.
