Remapping the foreign language curriculum:

Authors offer a holistic approach to postsecondary language teaching that integrates the study of literature and culture into every level of the curriculum. By studying multiple genres ranging from popular to elite, students gain an understanding of multiple communicative frameworks - and develop multiple literacies. Authors propose the use of a sequence of template - generated exercises that leads students from basic grammar paterns to a sophisticated grasp of the interrelations among language use, meaning and cultural context.
