Developed for the learner-centered classroom, the activities included here create opportunities for students to practice their language skills in ways--sometimes amusing, sometimes more serious--that encourage meaningful communication. Exercises such as games, creating cartoon captions, group writing of advice letters, and song lyric completion help intermediate learners of Norwegian to bridge the gap between comprehending the language and making effective use of it in expressing their own feelings, opinions, and experiences. Reflecting recent trends in language teaching methods that favor greater learner input and emphasize the students' own originality and creativity, the small group and paired activities in this book enhance language learning by: -maximizing the amount of speaking and listening done by each individual student -allowing more natural communication -decreasing learner inhibition -permitting greater freedom to express personal opinion -making the instructor more accessible to individual learners -increasing the amount of learner interaction -promoting cooperation and active listening. By encouraging the learners to help each other develop communication proficiency, the activities establish a community atmosphere in the classroom and create an environment that spurs learners to speak and listen to each other. "Norsk, nordmenn og Norge: Lrerveiledning (Teacher's Manual) is a companion to the "Norsk, nordmenn og Norge: Antologi (Anthology) and "Arbeidsbok (Workbook). |

| Publisher Description: What has the city meant to Americans? James L. Machor explores this question in a provocative analysis of American responses to urbanization in the context of the culture s tendency to valorize nature and the rural world. Although much attention has been paid to American rural-urban relations, Machor focuses on a dimension largely overlooked by those seeking to explain American conceptions of the city. While urban historians and literary critics have explicitly or implicitly emphasized the opposition between urban and rural sensibilities in America, an equally important feature of American thought and writing has been the widespread interest in collapsing that division. Convinced that the native landscape has offered special opportunities, Americans since the age of settlement have sought to build a harmonious urban-pastoral society combining the best of both worlds. Moreover, this goal has gone largely unchallenged in the culture except for the sophisticated responses in the writings of some of America s most eminent literary artists. Pastoral Cities explains the development of urban pastoralism from its origins in the prophetic vision of the New Jerusalem, applied to America in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, through its secularization in the urban planning and reform of the 1800s. Machor critiques the sophisticated treatment of urban pastoralism by writers such as Emerson, Whitman, Hawthorne, Wharton, and James by skillfully by combining cultural analysis with a close reading of urban plans, travel narratives, sermons, and popular novels. The product of this multifaceted approach is an analysis that works to reveal both the strengths and weaknesses of the pastoral ideal as cultural mythology." |
