"Authentic and Surprising News of Themselves": Engaging Students' Preexisting Competencies in the Introductory Literature Course.

Nance, Kimberly

ADFL Bulletin, v34 n1 p30-34 Fall 2002

Describes methods used in teaching an introduction to French literature to help students connect literature with their own knowledge so that they see it as a link to interpreting their world and themselves. Suggests teaching literature heightens students' awareness of the power of language, which makes them better users not only of French but also their own language. (Author/VWL)
