Introducing Islam through Qur'anic recitation.
Abstract
Effective introductions to world religions in undergraduate survey courses challenge even the most gifted of teachers. The process is often complicated by student stereotypes and negative preconceptions. This article argues for pedagogies that combine affective and cognitive learning as a way of expanding student access to unfamiliar traditions. Specifically it reviews the results of classroom experience where students encounter Islam through oral recitations of the Qur'an in Arabic.
