âThrough identifying connections between teaching and learning, I suggest that teaching can give a life meaning, that we might define ourselves, understand ourselves, meaningfully, as teachers. Teaching is a way of living and not just a way to make a living. We teach as we live, and we live through our teaching. Itâs our life-blood.â

Drawing from five decades of experience teaching over 11,000 students across ten institutions, this profound exploration reveals teaching as not merely a career, but a vocation. In this captivating book, leading scholar Robert DiYanni offers engaging personal narratives and research-backed insights to reveal the delicate symbiosis between teaching and learning, demonstrating how these interconnections flourish only within genuine community.

From traditional classrooms to business settings, from church halls to international conferences, these stories illuminate the transformative power of authentic educational engagement. Part one delivers practical, hands-on classroom advice distilled from years of pedagogical refinement. Part two expands beyond conventional settings to showcase teaching's boundless potential in diverse environments.

The ideal resource for English and humanities educators from middle school through university, this book arrives at a critical moment when educational relationships face unprecedented challenges. As remote learning reshapes our understanding of classroom dynamics, Teaching Literature reminds us why the human connections at education's core remain irreplaceable.
