Anglophone Literature in Second Language Teacher Education proposes
new ways that literature, and more generally culture, can be used to
educate future teachers of English as a second language. Arguing that
the way literature is used in language teacher education can be
transformed, the book foregrounds transnational approaches and shows
how these can be applied in literature and cultural instruction to
encourage intercultural awareness in future language educators. It
draws on theoretical discussions from literary and cultural studies as
well as applied linguistics and is an example how these
cross-discipline conversations can take place, and thus help make
Second-language teacher education (SLTE) programs more responsive to
the challenges faced by future English-language teachers. Written in
the idiom of literary scholarship, the book uses ideas of
intercultural studies that have gained widespread support at research
level, yet have not affected literature–cultural curricula in SLTE.
As the first interdisciplinary study to suggest how SLTE programs can
respond with curricula, this book will be of great interest for
academics, scholars and post graduate students in the fields of
applied linguistics, L2 and foreign language education, teacher
education and post-graduate TESOL. It has universal appeal, addressing
teaching faculty in any third-level institution that prepares language
teachers and includes literary studies in their curriculum, as well as
administrators in such organizations.
