Özet:

 

This is a special issue of the Journal of American Studies in Turkey devoted to issues of   teaching American Studies. I believe that it is important to focus on this subject for two   reasons - first, that to date there has been very little material appearing on the subject in this   country; and second, because I do believe that in the current socio-political climate all   teachers, whether in the United States or elsewhere, should not only be concerned about   what they are teaching under the umbrella of 'American Studies', but more significantly   about why they are teaching it. Are their main objectives to increase students' knowledge of   America, its history and its current place in the world, or are they trying to go beyond   studying the target culture and focus instead on inter- or cross-cultural issues? These are the   two main points that will be addressed in this issue.
