Especially designed for students in the English-speaking BA curriculum outside the United States, English for American Studies: The Delectable Speaker banks on the imaginative and theoretical potential of the language encounter to transform the undergraduate language classroom into a workshop of ideas. Approaching the language of the US enables learners to reflect on their own relation to language not only as a set of forms but also as an affective reality. It includes the following chapters: 1) Awareness; 2) From Bodies to Neighbors: The Origin of the Intercultural Landscape; 3) Language: The Strange Relation; 4) Imagining American English: A Historical Overview; 5) Contact Zones; 6) The Speaking Subject, two appendices on linguistic structures and an apparatus of study questions, general review questions, peer learning sessions, and close reading practice.
