Trends in Persian Language, Literature, and Pedagogy

Beschreibung

This book brings together a diverse array of researchers and seasoned educators to present a sweeping exploration of Persian language, literature, and pedagogy. With a dual focus, the book is thoughtfully structured in two distinct parts: Part I delves into the rich landscape of Persian Language and Literature, while Part II highlights dynamic approaches and emerging perspectives in the Teaching of Persian to Speakers of Other Languages (TPSOL). Across its chapters, the book traverses centuries of literary evolution and linguistic development. Topics range from the transformation of twentieth-century Persian prose fiction and the legacy of Indo-Persian traditions in the postcolonial era, to poetic portrayals of marriage, and the linguistic adaptation of Persian loanwords into Turkish. It also illuminates the mystical depths of Sufi thought through classical Persian texts and tackles key dimensions in foreign language instruction from curriculum design to learner engagement strategies. Timely, interdisciplinary, and global in scope, Trends in Persian Language, Literature, and Pedagogy is a must-read resource for scholars, educators, and students in the fields of Persian studies, comparative literature, applied linguistics, and foreign language teaching.
