Contemporary Young Adult (Im)migration Fiction in the EFL Classroom: Theory and Practice, 1st Edition

This book aims to provide a detailed study of young adult fiction concentrating on Mexican teenage (im)migrants to the United States and their search for identity. In its quest to define young adult (im)migration literature as a genre, the first chapter combines and questions classifications provided by literary scholars and educational scientists. The second chapter explores crucial factors which impact the protagonists’ transcultural identity construction. The third chapter engages in theory mixing: Louise Rosenblatt’s reader-response theory, the critical literacy approach of the New London Group, influences from the field of cultural studies and a model of literary competences are merged into an innovative theoretical framework that forms the basis of the teaching sequence presented.Contemporary Young Adult (Im)migration Fiction in the EFL Classroom: Theory and Practice 1st Edition is written by Walburga Rothschädl and published by Peter Lang GmbH, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften.
