Risse, Marielle
- Abstract
The author discusses the conceptualization of the work of poet John Clare in Oman. She relates her experience of discovering the works of Clare as a literature professor in the Languages and Translation Department at Dhofar University in Salalah, Oman. She mentions her initial focus on the level of vocabulary and basic understanding due to the low level of English of her students. She cites her preference for poems capable of developing a cross-cultural understanding in her classroom.
