TEACHING ANGLO-AMERICAN CULTURE AT THE ENGLISH DEPARTMENT: THE PAST, THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE

Summary/Abstract: Following the example of the European and American universities in the last three decades, the English Department of the Faculty of Philosophy in Niš has introduced seven courses dealing with the particulars of foreign cultures - British, American, Canadian, Australian, Irish, Scottish and African American studies - all evolving over the years to encompass both the historical and the contemporary socio-political contexts necessary for educating language and literature students - future teachers - and provide them with the background knowledge indispensable for teaching language and literature in context. At the English Department, the mandatory introductory courses in cultural studies are complemented by electives that provide a deeper understanding of both the theoretical concepts and theories pertaining to cultural studies, and the specifics of individual Anglo-American nations and their cultures.
