Popular Culture's Place in the English Composition Classroom: An Academic Exchange Quarterly Special Section
Submitted by wgalgan on October 24, 2010 - 17:44
Focus:
Often, the discussion regarding the use of popular culture in the classroom focuses on content-area courses. There are, however, myriad ways in which pop culture can be used to enhance students’ critical thinking and writing abilities within the structure of English composition courses. This issue of AEQ seeks submissions that discuss both the theoretical and practical uses of popular culture in the composition classroom, as well as ways in which pop culture can be integrated into composition assignment design.
