Denis Denis, Philippe J. Philippe J. Denis Philippe J. Denis has been researching and teaching the English language and American culture at the Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain) since 1993. In America, he lived out his passion as a CODOFIL teacher and soccer coach in New Orleans, Louisiana. On the road, he has so far experienced life in 16 states, some for months, some for hours. He has also been blessed to travel through stories by his most trusted circle of native friends. Straddling the ocean between UCLouvain and Clemson University, South Carolina, he designed and co-directed a French language immersion program for five years, teaching a comparative civilization course to combine the best of two worlds. His career-long teaching of an American Perspectives course to eager MA students has inspired and informed the writing of this book. 01 eng 00 258 03 10 EDU000000 10 EDU018000 10 EDU029010 10 EDU029080 10 LAN000000 10 LAN020000 12 E 24 INTERNET anglais 24 INTERNET Langues, liguistique et littératures 01 06 01 09 03 00 L'Américanité/Americanness, as an absolute, eludes mapping, but it still exudes fascination and fantasy.

Counterpoints: Cultural Immersion weaves together their traumas, trials and dilemmas in a made-up poetic and musical play. Viewpoints: Language Production involves in-class trainees or autonomous learners in thought-provoking activities designed to scaffold literacy and sharpen proficiency. Focal-Points: Essays on Distinctiveness expounds the groups’ unique legacy within Early America (1619-1919). How marginalized groups reinvent themselves not only speaks volumes about their vitality, it also lays bare their adoptive country’s workings, which they in turn re-shape. 02 00 L'Américanité/Americanness, still exudes fascination and fantasy.
