Annotation
How does studying literature help future teachers of English? Why study Shakespeare, Twain, and James if you will only need to make your future students proficient in the English language? This course asks questions about the fundamental purpose of literature teaching at our department and further afield, ranging through theories of transnationalism, interculturalism, and applied linguistics. Also, we will examine the frameworks of US and British literature and ask if they are still fit-for-purpose, while exploring other more recent possibilities.
The course will mainly be concerned with theoretical texts, but on the practical side a major output will be to design the culture curricula in a BA program for second-language teachers of English. Based on the new study program at the Department of English at the University of West Bohemia, the course engages with ideas that may surprise you.
