Learning 9/11

Teaching for Key Competences in Literary and Cultural Studies. Edited by Irina Bauder-Begerow and Stefanie Schäfer.

This book theorizes the teaching of cultural responses to the terrorist attacks in the literary and cultural studies university classroom. It makes a case for a process-oriented teaching approach which fosters the development of selected key comptences that are instrumental in analyzing the wide range of '9/11 texts': reading and writing skills, intercultural competences and media literacies. Thematically, the 14 essays (five of which are in German) offer insight into negotiations of 9/11 across the media, reflections on their teaching potential, and strategies for doing justice to the scope of 9/11 as a global media event. 302 Seiten mit 15 Abb., broschiert (anglistik & englischunterricht; Band 78/Universitätsverlag Winter 2011)
