This book offers insight into the ways students enrolled in European classrooms in higher education come to understand American experience through its literary fiction, which for decades has been a key component of English department offerings and American Studies curricula across the continent and in Great Britain and Ireland. The essays provide an understanding of how post-World War II American writers, some already elevated to ‘canonical status’ and some not, are represented in European university classrooms and why they have been chosen for inclusion in coursework. The book will be of interest to scholars and teachers of American literature and American studies, and to students in American literature and American studies courses.
This volume contains copy-ready sheets with work instructions and solutions for teachers of students in upper-level secondary-school English courses. "Lord of the Flies", "The Cement Garden", "The Buddha of Suburbia" – this volume provides materials for teaching three of the most important and most widely taught literary works in English courses in German schools. The individual worksheets are conceived to correspond to the language competences demanded by the curricula of the individual German states, such as describing, explaining, reasoning, discussing, etc. Concrete didactical advice is also given to guarantee quick and practical application of the information. The themes of growing-up, dealing with death, isolation, multiculturalism, racism and the search for one's own identity allow teachers to work in a multidisciplinary fashion.
