「古典」在年輕學梓的心中總是陌生而難以駕馭，而「小說」是最貼近人的文學，它承載人的悲歡離合，深刻描摹世情百態。本課程將開放團體討論的方式，探索小說議題、融古典小說於現代生活。期待能付予古典小說新生命，讓年輕學梓建構古典小說與現代生活相聯結的意義。並於開放式的討論中，強化學生的思維訓練，培養學生團隊合作的精神與溝通、表達能力。"Classics" are always unfamiliar and difficult to control in the hearts of young students, while "novel" is the literature that is closest to people. It carries people's joys and sorrows, and profoundly describes the various situations of the world. This course will use open group discussion to explore novel issues and integrate classical novels into modern life. It is hoped that it can give new life to classical novels and allow young students to construct the meaning of connecting classical novels with modern life. In open discussions, students' thinking training is strengthened and students' teamwork spirit and communication and expression skills are cultivated.
