Abafundi baseYale University abafundele iziqu zabo baqale uhlelo lwe- Isicelo emnyangweni wamaNgisi sokuqeda isidingo esiyisisekelo sesifundo sokufunda ababhali be-canonical, kufaka phakathi uChaucer, uShakespeare noMilton, bethi “akwamukelekile ukuthi umfundi waseYale, uma ecabanga ukuthi ufunda izincwadi zesiNgisi, angafunda ababhali besilisa abamhlophe kuphela"
I-University of Connecticut ehlonishwayo idinga isifundo, semesters ezimbili, sokukhethwa kwababhali abanelebuli "yezinkondlo ezinkulu zesiNgisi": uGeoffrey Chaucer, u-Edmund Spenser, uWilliam Shakespeare, uSilliam Wordsworth, njll.
Ngokuya kweyunivesithi, inhloso yayo yile elandelayo:
"Ukuhlinzeka bonke abafundi ngesingeniso esivulekile ngezinto eziqhubekayo ezisemthethweni nezikhuluma ngezinto ezithinta imibhalo yesiNgisi."
Maqondana nezinkondlo abafundi okufanele bazifunde, inyuvesi ithi:
"Qonda izingqinamba nezinkinga ezizwakala kuyo yonke imibhalo yesiNgisi: isimo sabantu bomdabu, isithembiso sokuziphatha kanye nobungozi bezinganekwane, ubudlelwano phakathi kwabesilisa nabesifazane, uhlobo lobuqhawe, ingcebo yamasiko kanye nesifiso sokwenza okuthile okusha. "
Kepha abafundi bafuna inyuvesi isuse imfuneko yokuhola izimbongi zesiNgisi bese idlulela ku ukuhlelwa kabusha kwezidingo kusukela ngeminyaka yama-1800 kuya kowe-1900 ukuze kufakwe nemibhalo ephathelene nobulili, ubuhlanga, ubulili nobuzwe.
“Ukusebenzisa unyaka sizungeze itafula lapho iminikelo yezincwadi yabesifazane, abantu bebala nabantu abangabazi ingekho kulimaza bonke abafundi, kungakhathalekile ukuthi bangobani futhi kwakha isiko elinobutha ikakhulukazi kubafundi bombala. "
Ngokwe-Yale Daily News, iphephandaba lansuku zonke likaYale, Uhlu lwezikhalazo lunamasiginesha okungenani ayi-160. Omunye wabafundi, u-Adriana Miele, utshele iphephandaba ukuthi kudingeka ushintsho emnyangweni wamaNgisi ngoba ukwenqabe ngokusobala ukugxekwa nokuhlaziywa ukuthi eminye iminyango eYale University yamukele.
Ngo-Ephreli, uMiele wabhala ikholomu kwiYale Daily News egxeka isifundo futhi wabhala okulandelayo:
"Bafundiswa indlela yokuhlaziya imisebenzi yohlu lwezincwadi zeBhayibheli, abafundiswa ukubuza ukuthi kungani iyi-canonical., noma imiphumela yemisebenzi yohlu lwezincwadi zeBhayibheli ecindezela futhi ibeke eceleni abantu abangewona abamhlophe, abangewona abesilisa, abesilisa nabesilisa nabobulili obufanayo. FUTHIKungenzeka uthweswe iziqu ngezincwadi zesiNgisi ngokufunda kuphela umsebenzi wamadoda amhlophe. Abafundi abaningi abafundi umbhali oyedwa wesifazane kulezi zifundo ezimbili eziyinhloko. Lo mnyango ubambe iqhaza elikhulu ekucindezelweni komlando "
Amanye amalungu e-Yale University English faculty amukele ubushoshovu babafundi. USolwazi Jill Richards uphawule ephephandabeni wathi:
"Akwamukelekile ukuthi isidingo sama-semester amabili sihlanganisa kuphela umsebenzi wezimbongi eziyisishiyagalombili ezimhlophe."
Nokho, isicelo sagxekwa yilabo ababengamalungu eYunivesithi yaseYale. Umbhali uKaty Waldman, owafunda izincwadi zesiNgisi eYale, utshele abafundi ukuthi uma befuna ukwazi kahle imibhalo yesiNgisi kumele “babambe amakhala” futhi bafunde inqwaba yezimbongi ezibhalwe ngababhali besilisa abamhlophe.
“Uhlu lwezincwadi zeBhayibheli yilokho oluyikho futhi noma ngubani ofuna ukuqonda ukuthi iqhubeka kanjani ukugeleza iye phambili kufanele afunde ukubhukuda kuyo . Angisho ukuthi kwamukelekile ukuphothula iziqu zasekolishi ngifunde ababhali besilisa abamhlophe kuphela noma nokuthi ama-70% okufundwayo bekungamadoda abelungu abesilisa. Kepha awukwazi ukuthi ungumfundi wezincwadi zesiNgisi uma ungazange uhambe ezinyathelweni zezibalo ezithile eziyisisekelo, ophinde abe (ngeshwa), owesilisa nomhlophe "
Ucabangani ngeqiniso lokuthi iningi lezincwadi abazifundayo ezamadoda amhlophe? Yize kuyiqiniso ukuthi iningi lezincwadi zesiNgisi belinalo lolu hlobo lomuntu njengababhali balo ngenxa yengcindezelo yomphakathi, ucabanga ukuthi kufanele babe nokuhlukahluka okukhulu?
