Engaging in the International Trade of Shakespeare Enterprise : Pedagogies Evolved in an NTU Classroom

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Shakespeare is probably the most read, studied, and performed single author in Asia. Across most of the globe, Shakespeare has been made a brand name. Shakespeare's manifold presence exerts a great influence both globally and locally. Being a well-embraced cultural commodity in the world, Shakespeare has functioned as a vehicle for accruing power, prestige, and cultural capital. The paper thus proposes to consider Shakespeare teaching practices in the university context. It first investigates how Shakespeare can be used for English language acquisition, especially as a vehicle for improving students' reading and writing. It then moves on to evaluate the use of Shakespeare for literature and culture learning in a college-level course. The paper is therefore a modest attempt to address the difficulties and rewards of integrating language and literature in second language (L2) settings. The paper concludes that, at a very minimal level, Shakespeare can be utilized in a four-skill program for university students as a way to learn English. At a more advanced level, however, Shakespeare can be used more profoundly to stimulate the love of learning English, encourage critical thinking skills and foster intellectual creativity .
