Who Are You Calling “Coddled”?

Marielle Risse

Abstract

The article discusses the necessary compromises inherent in choosing interesting, authentic, and appropriate texts for Middle Eastern classrooms. With nine years’ experience teaching literature in the Arabian Peninsula, Risse argues that the choice of texts and the methods of teaching should reflect local culture instead of transplanting Western syllabi.
