Anglophone Literature in Second Language Teacher Education presents innovative approaches to leveraging literature and culture for the education of future English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers. The book advocates for a transformative approach to language teacher education, emphasizing transnational perspectives and showcasing how these can be applied in literature and cultural instruction to foster intercultural awareness among future language educators. Drawing from theoretical discussions in literary and cultural studies, applied linguistics, and cross-disciplinary conversations, the book exemplifies how these diverse fields can converge to enhance Second-language Teacher Education (SLTE) programs. Written in the language of literary scholarship, the book incorporates intercultural studies ideas that have gained widespread support in research but have yet to significantly impact literature-cultural curricula in SLTE. As the first interdisciplinary study to propose curriculum responses for SLTE programs, this book holds significant interest for academics, scholars, and postgraduate students in applied linguistics, L2 and foreign language education, teacher education, and post-graduate TESOL. Its universal appeal extends to teaching faculty in any third-level institution that prepares language teachers, including those who incorporate literary studies into their curriculum, as well as administrators in such organizations.
