Abstract

One of the most difficult aspects of teaching a foreign language course is finding materials that are in line with the methodology and learning objectives specific to the class being taught. In the case of languages that are more commonly taught, such as French or Spanish, there is a lot of sorting that needs to be done in order to find the right text. For languages that are less commonly taught, however, such as Danish, there are only a handful of resources available, and unfortunately, many of them are not designed for an American university education. Since the vast majority of all Danish speakers live in Denmark, a small country of about 5 million people, most Danish textbooks are designed for foreigners living in Denmark, so the approach and learning outcomes are different than those of BYU students learning Danish.
