초록/요약
My teaching strategies include not merely focusing on but integrating as structural components the contradictions inherent in teaching American poetry in English in Korea. Foregrounding the contradictions also entails highlighting the contexts in which such teaching and learning occur. This essay is an outline of my hands-on experience in teaching at Korea University. I break down my methods into the following interrelated categories: Initiating Communications; Mobilizing Opportunities; Contextualizing American Poetry in American History; Contextualizing American Poetry and the Visual Arts; Contextualizing American Poetry and the Cinema; Utilizing Technology and Techniques; and Contextualizng American Poetry in Korea.
