Teaching Literature in the Languages

In Teaching Literature in the Languages,Professor Nance focuses on two fundamental questions. How can teachers enable and encourage more language students to read literature today? What can teachers do to increase the likelihood that more language students will become lifelong readers of literature? “Students need to read for themselves, think critically about what they read, and then express and develop their responses through discussion and writing. For a number of reasons literature teachers have not always been successful at engaging all students in those endeavors, a situation that has drawn fair questions about the role of literature in language curricula. Literature teachers in the languages must find ways to extend engagement with literature–and the benefits it confers–to all of our students.”Nance, Kimberly is the author of 'Teaching Literature in the Languages ', published 2009 under ISBN 9780131999756 and ISBN 0131999753.
