2.   LITERARY READING AND LIFE WRITING
The design of this course is based on the concept of “literature in living, living in literature.” It focuses on “deep reading” and “the actualization of writing.” “Deep reading” indicates that students can explore the core structure and the meaning of literary work and can connect with their life experience through reading. On the other hand, “the actualization of writing” means students can express their emotions and thoughts clearly and truly through writing.
Starting with profound reading, it triggers the students’ feelings and questions about life; it helps them think from different angles and provides feedback to stimulate the writing. Furthermore, students can express personal ideas in a structured and effective way.

3.   COLLECTION AND RECORDING OF SOUTHERN MIN FOLKTALES AND LITERATURE
The course aims to teach students to utilize the Taiwanese Hokkien phonetic transcription system to collect, record, and organize Taiwanese local culture and literature, helping students understand the Taiwanese Hokkien culture and the perspective of common people. Furthermore, through field survey, students can experience local culture and dedicate themselves to preserving Taiwanese Hokkien culture and literature.
The teaching subject is set in each semester. In 107 and 108 academic years, the course focused on the folk religions in Kaohsiung. Students visited different temples and observed the urban texture, community memory, and interaction between gods (ghosts) and people under folk religions. Furthermore, students combined local memories with creative practices to contribute to the community.

4.   THE POETRY OF DU FU
The poetry of Du Fu belongs to the classical Chinese literature. As Italo Calvino (1923-1985) said, “a classic is a book that has never finished saying what it has to say.” This course begins with a close reading of Du Fu's poems, emphasizing the ups and downs of Du Fu’s life in chronological order. Then, students explore the diverse perspectives of Du Fu’s poems in different units, which helps them familiarize themselves with his life experiences and appreciate his poems.
Students will understand Du Fu's poetry through diversified teaching methods, so that the classics can be integrated into the modern life.
