Episode 6: Intro to English Studies

Intro to English Studies can be a beast of a course. From teaching the skills necessary for the major to juggling a range of skill levels to tackling a variety of genres, there is a lot for one course to cover. Margaret and Paige share their experiences as both instructors and students within an Intro to English Studies classroom. We discuss about the purpose of this course--including emphasizing the practicality of an English major.

We talk about leveling the learning field, setting goals, and creating assignments. We deep-dive into a specific course Margaret recently taught to talk about particular approaches to teach close reading, analysis, translation and adaptation, secondary sources, ethics of the field, cultural evolution, and more. Paige then reveals her own time in an Intro to English Studies as a student and how she'd incorporate the experience of learning theory, writing, and conferencing to teach in the future. And together, we brainstorm about ideas we'd like to explore in future versions of this course.

We'd like to hear how you teach Intro to English Studies! Share your experiences and questions with us at literaturelypodcast@gmail.com or tweet us at @Literaturely101.
