Beschreibung
This volume deals with theoretical concepts surrounding culture and literature in foreign language education. Topics addressed include textbook analysis, Shakespeare, India, South Africa, and integrating authentic materials as well as pop culture. Practical suggestions illustrate how culture- and literature-related competences can be developed.
In the context of foreign language education, the importance of cultural and literary studies has grown continuously in our globalising world. Language educators and researchers are looking into ways in which inter- and transcultural awareness and competence can be developed so that learners become responsible global citizens. This volume invites the reader to engage in critical thinking while reflecting upon important theoretical concepts and their application in practice. The contributions deal with a wide variety of topics including antinomies that mark literary and cultural competence development, textbook analysis, Shakespeare, South Africa, India, and pop culture artefacts such as graphic novels and songs. Resources are presented to illustrate how theory can be related to practice.
