Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

In this class, students will be familiarized with various forms of North American Indigenous literatures, from Canada and the US, since 1900. We will read and discuss a novel, a graphic novel, short stories, poetry and drama to which students will apply their research skills in order to give a presentation (in teams of 2) and write an essay (ca. 800 words). One focus will be how these texts could be included in EFL classrooms, esp. high-schools in Austria.
