IT giant nuclear superpower the world's largest democracy and home of Bollywood: India seems
to be well on its way to become a nation of superlatives. In the media in popular culture as
well as in economics and politics India has gained increasing attention over the last few
years. However in the EFL classroom the vibrant cultures of India are almost absent. Teaching
India aims at providing teachers with ideas guidelines and materials which develop language
skills and expand the learner's intercultural competence. It offers fresh perspectives on India
and on the Indian diaspora in Great Britain and the United States thereby inviting teachers
and students to cross cultural boundaries. Teaching India brings together Literary and Cultural
Studies Didactics and Film Studies to capture a broad range of approaches and methodologies.
