ENGC 7037 - Methods of Teaching Literature

Institution:

University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

The goal of this course is to encourage current and prospective teachers of college-level literature to examine the assumptions (theoretical and practical) behind what they are doing and what their students are doing when they study literature together. We take on a series of theoretically-inflected positions about about what literature is, how it works, and what its interpreters do, explore the implications of those positions, and then ask ourselves what sorts of practical consequences each might have for the teaching of literature. We discuss a range of possible ways and purposes for planning a semester's work, a unit of study, and a single day's preparation.
