Improving Student Performance and Teacher Confidence English 600 – Spring 2008

[object Object],2. Are Kentucky literature and language arts teachers adequately prepared to introduce a broad spectrum of literary theory into the literature/language arts classroom? 3. Should colleges develop a course in literary theory which is tailored for English educators, as opposed to courses for B.A./M.A. English students? This former would introduce educators to literary theory; however, the primary focus would be on pedagogy and connecting reading and writing strategies to literary theory.

Critical Encounter in High School English. Urbana:NCTE Press, 2000. “ When students think critically, they interact with the text by skillfully analyzing the message, comparing that message with their previous knowledge, considering alternate positions, and synthesizing the information gained into a richer knowledge base.” Pescatore, Christine. “Current events as empowering literacy: For English and social studies teachers.” Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy. 5 1 : 4 December 2007 / January 2008.

[object Object],Q.3 This question is best answered by college educators from the departments of Humanities and Education. Over the summer, I hope determine if there are any institutions who have such a model for teaching literary theory in place and I will be asking for comments and syllabi from these institutions as well.
