Teaching American Literature in China: Learning How Students Read and Respond.

Buley-Meissner, Mary Louise

English Education, v22 n3 p192-99 Oct 1990

Explores why Chinese students' responses to American literature appear dogmatic and predictable. Examines how Chinese typically study literature by considering (1) the officially recognized relationship between literature and politics; (2) the traditional aims and methods of instruction in middle school; and (3) students' responsibilities in their class.
