Teaching
German in Twentieth-Century America

From Schiller and Goethe to ...whom?
Teaching a foreign language and
culture is always a challenge, but it has been especially problematic
to teach the German language and culture in the United States
in the twentieth century. The tradition of Germany's great poets
and thinkers of the past has been joined by a starker legacy.
Through explorations of such topics as the world wars, the Holocaust,
women in the language-teaching profession, Jewish contributions,
and technology's impact on scholarship, this volume inspects
the fascination and frustrating relationships of the two cultures
as they interact through the teaching of German in American educational
systems—from small liberal arts colleges to large and famous
universities. This volume resulted from a conference, "Shaping
Forces in American Germanics," held in Madison, Wisconsin
in September 1996.
