Lecture
St Paul: John Roach Center 481
What is English studies for—to appreciate art, develop empathy, construct self or national identity, make social change? Given that, how do we teach it? This seminar will explore the debates and controversies in the research on teaching English at the university level. We will hone in on key terms and threshold concepts in both Composition Studies and Literary Studies (including literacy studies, cultural studies, literary theory, pedagogy, and rhetoric), and translate what we learn in these debates to actual classroom practices that reflect both our evolving pedagogical values, and the current research in English studies pedagogy. In their assignments, 507 students will explore and apply concepts to classroom practice. This course is designed to prepare future university professors in English as well as current high school English teachers who teach in the College in the Schools program.
