Teaching Chinese by Culture and TV Drama

Teaching Chinese by Culture and TV Drama

This book integrates culture and authenticity into Chinese classroom practice through exploring the potential of contemporary TV drama as teaching and learning materials for intercultural Chinese language teaching and learning. In addressing the four main challenges in culture teaching in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language (TCFL) this book focuses on precisely this area of pedagogical practice in Chinese as foreign language education and draws on a wide interdisciplinary base including foreign language education cultural studies and intercultural communication to explore the potential of authentic TV drama as language and culture materials for revitalising TCFL and foreign language teaching more generally. It examines in detail the culturally shaped beliefs values and practices that give meaning to the action and language of the selected clips in a modern award-winning Chinese TV drama. This book shows a potential experiential pathway into (pedagogical) practices to bring contemporary culture into classrooms to engage learners with contemporary and authentic texts and to encourage inquiry-focused teaching practices which – in being intercultural – allow for learners’ own interpretations of cultural messages in interaction and to recognise learners as learning to understand their own values and beliefs as they learn to explore those of other cultures. | Teaching Chinese by Culture and TV Drama

Sex Class and Culture

Sex Class and Culture

First published in 1986 Sex Class and Culture is a collection of Marxist feminist essays that develops an original critical theory and applies it to literature the visual arts and mass media. Lillian Robinson was the first American critic to suggest the essential connections among sex class and race as forces that shape works of art and the critical response to them. In applying her theory to particular texts she considers topics from the Renaissance epic to the Regency romance from Jane Austen to contemporary feminist poets and from factory workers’ memoirs to TV images of career women and housewives. The essays are insightful because Robinson clearly knows this wide assortment of texts cares about their significance and writes about them with wit. They are irreverent because she asserts the feminist critic’s permanent responsibility to ask So What? and they are controversial because she constantly addresses that question to our most powerful and respectable institutions – social and literary. This book will be of interest to students of literature history gender studies and sexuality studies.
