%0 Journal Article %T Introduction %A Martina Kohl %J American Studies Journal %D 2010 %I American Studies Journal %X Issue 54 of the American Studies Journal explores a topic particularly interesting for teachers and students of American Studies: What is it like to grow up in urban spaces in the U.S.? Teaching ¡°the city¡± is a common topic in the EFL classroom, and ¡°youth culture¡± another. But both are difficult to tackle. There is always the danger of misrepresenting a topic so vast, creating stereotypes rather than questioning them and establishing a limited view on the subject. %K America %K United States %K US %K urban %K culture %K city %K youth %K teacher training %K classroom %U http://www.asjournal.org/archive/54/177.html
