HomeTeaching Culture Through Children's Literature
Sunday, June 24th, 2001, 10:30 AM - 12:30 PM
Speaker: Susan Unher, Morioka University
Children's stories act as the stepping-stones into the realm of more sophisticated works to follow. Native speakers have this foundation of simplified but important humor, philosophy, and values of their society. The nonnative speaker lacks this advantage, making it more difficult to jump into the world of adult literature of a foreign culture. There are many examples of culture the presenter hopes to share through the use of children's literature.
