Issues In Teaching Literary Theories And Practical Approaches

Authors : Benadla Djamel .

Abstract

This article, which is in fact a short version of a research work which was presented at the Department of English during the study day entitled “Issues in Teaching Critical Theories to Master Students”, aims to meet the needs of both students and teachers who strongly concerned with literature and critical theories. This article, in particular, puts much focus on the complexities and difficulties of contemporary literary theories in the dearth of high quality references in this domain. It is an attempt to provide the target learner with the adequate guidance on reading and assessing critical issues, rather than learning a fixed set of ‘isms’. Starting from the premise that modern critical theory requires huge areas of knowledge and methodologies, this present article tends to shed light on the main problems our students encounter in their classroom.
