CALL FOR
PAPERS
Set texts? New approaches
to the teaching of literature in languages and related/area
studies
June 6th 2003 at CILT,
London
The subject centre will be
holding a one-day seminar to explore innovatory approaches to the teaching of
literature in or translated from languages other than English. Particular
emphasis will be placed on the evolving role of literature both as a subject of
study in its own right (e.g. in language and area studies programmes) and as a
tool of study in other disciplines (e.g. business, politics and the sciences).
We would welcome presentations on the following themes:
· Trends in literature teaching in language
programmes
· Teaching postcolonial literatures
· Literature as a
teaching tool in other disciplines
· Literature and
technology
· Out with the old, in with the new. Are ‘new literatures’
pushing aside the ‘classics’?
