영화로 이해하는 윌리엄 포크너와 버지니아 울프 - 〈시민 케인〉과 〈디 아워스〉

Understanding William Faulkner and Virginia Woolf through Citizen Kane and The Hours

&nbsp;&nbsp;In recent years the need for an intensive study of English literature on an undergraduate basis has significantly declined partly because of our Korean college graduates&quot; struggle for finding jobs due to hash economic condition since IMF. This sobering reality renders college curriculum more efficient and more practical in response to the rising demand for a highly effective curriculum.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;In this paper I want to explain several teaching methods I tried over several years&nbsp;&nbsp;as a pedagogical way. Using films both as teaching methodology in case of Citizen Kane in teaching William Faulkner&quot;s Absalom, Absalom! and as teaching material in case of The Hours in teaching psychological approach to literature a well as the life of Virginia Woolf were effective as I expected.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;Even though most Korean students had difficulty in understanding the full meaning of the text(both novel and films) when they were not offered enough validated and legitimate reading, paralleling that can be drawn from two different texts can widen their understanding and interest in English literature.
