Literature and the Brain
Author: Norman Norwood Holland
Publisher: PsyArt Foundation
ISBN: 057801839X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 476
Book Description
LITERATURE AND THE BRAIN goes straight to the human core of literature when it explains the different ways our brains convert stories, poems, plays, and films into pleasure. When we are deep into a film or book, we find ourselves "absorbed," unaware of our bodies or our surroundings. We don't doubt the existence of Spider-Man or Harry Potter, and we have real feelings about these purely imaginary beings. Our brains are behaving oddly, because we know we cannot act to change what we are seeing. This is only one of the special ways our brains behave to with literature, ways that LITERATURE AND THE BRAIN reveals. 474 pp. 13 ill.

How Literary Worlds Are Shaped
Author: Bo Pettersson
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110486318
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
Literary studies still lack an extensive comparative analysis of different kinds of literature, including ancient and non-Western. How Literary Worlds Are Shaped. A Comparative Poetics of Literary Imagination aims to provide such a study. Literature, it claims, is based on individual and shared human imagination, which creates literary worlds that blend the real and the fantastic, mimesis and genre, often modulated by different kinds of unreliability. The main building blocks of literary worlds are their oral, visual and written modes and three themes: challenge, perception and relation. They are blended and inflected in different ways by combinations of narratives and figures, indirection, thwarted aspirations, meta-usages, hypothetical action as well as hierarchies and blends of genres and text types. Moreover, literary worlds are not only constructed by humans but also shape their lives and reinforce their sense of wonder. Finally, ten reasons are given in order to show how this comparative view can be of use in literary studies. In sum, How Literary Worlds Are Shaped is the first study to present a wide-ranging and detailed comparative account of the makings of literary worlds.

English Language Teaching: Issues and Challenges
Author: S. Udhayakumar
Publisher: Shanlax Publications
ISBN: 8119042913
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 172
Book Description
English, as a global language, plays a vital role in every one’s life. Students think that English language opens the door of the world for their future life. But as an alien language, the learners find it very difficult to understand the language. Not only to understand but to read, write and speak. A social language may be learnt quickly as there are many chances to encounter with public people who speak this as their mother tongue or a community language. But English is not a social language so all learners face difficulty. This difficulty may be eased out by adopting different methodology for learning English language. This could be possible only for educational institutions. In India and non English speaking countries, English could be learnt only in schools, colleges and Universities. So it is very important that methodology for English teaching should be often checked and updated. Earlier chalk and talk method was adopted. In due course, it underwent many changes and it, now has become student centric and the teacher has become a facilitator for the students in teaching learning process. The classroom, once a four wall room with a single board and small chalk piece, has now become a smart classroom with white smart board and an electronic pen stick. Even an LKG classroom is connected to the world and with one click the whole world comes into the classroom through internet services and displayed on the white board. If Shakespeare is taught, his manuscript of the text is displayed and his life is shown as a video film. If the Universe is taught to the students, the video of the Universe is shown and the real scientists are explaining the doubts of the students and they chat with the learners. As we are living in such a modern and advanced period, teaching methodology for English teaching should be updated to meet the challenges of today’s world. Education is the only way for the humanity to live happily and peacefully. Education connects the whole world for the benefit of the human race which is not possible for animal beings and other creatures also. In this process, English language plays a crucial role and an edition of book chapters may benefit the student and teaching community to update the teaching methodology of English language. So, this edition is brought to fulfill the need of the current society.

Rethinking English in Schools
Author: Viv Ellis
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 144119987X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Why should young people study a subject called English? This question lies at the heart of this fascinating monograph, which brings together the diverse perspectives of many leading thinkers about English and literacy education. This meticulously researched and well-written collection takes as its starting point the importance of the history of the subject in the formation of its constitution and its boundaries. First and foremost, it proposes that questions of aims and values have informed these choices. Equally, it suggests that returning to these educational questions helps us to understand curriculum and pedagogy in complex ways that a simple focus on content and methods neglects. Curriculum and pedagogy bring learners, teachers, institutions and the wider society into the debate.
