商品簡介
Starting with a charming story about a teacher's tale of a cuckoo being brought up by a hedge sparrow, Choo (English, National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological U) takes a certain approach to the centrality of pedagogy, and namely, restoring it to how literary texts are received, experienced, and interpreted by students. She works toward a standard of pedagogical criticism as she examines a nationalistic approach to teaching literature, then examines world, global, and cosmopolitan approaches. She closes with a very fine essay on the cultivation of a hospitable imagination in the teaching of literature. The result is an adept combination of the old (pedagogy) and the new (globalization).
