  • This article describes various approaches to teaching literature and provides a rationale for an integrated approach to teaching literature in the language classroom based on the premise that literature is language and language can indeed be literary.
  • the use of literature in the EFL classroom can provide a powerful pedagogic tool in learners’ linguistic development.
  • As teachers of English as a Foreign Language our main concern is to help learners acquire communicative competence. For this reason we tend to focus on teaching standard forms of linguistic expression
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Such an approach enables learners to access a text in a systematic and methodical way in order to exemplify specific linguistic features e.g. literal and figurative language, direct and indirect speech.
  • Apart from offering a distinct literary world which can widen learners’ understanding of their own and other cultures, it can create opportunities for personal expression as well as reinforce learners’ knowledge of lexical and grammatical structure.
  • The use of literary texts in the language classroom can be a potentially powerful pedagogic tool.

  • Can i ask why teachers like or dislike using songs in the classroom?
  • Do you use songs with videos or just audio?
  • What about songs with taboo or swear words? Would you use them in class? For instance, teens asking for hit songs with such words.
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • Anyone ever encountered strong student resistence to songs in class?
  • What do you think are the QUALITIES of a good song to use in the classroom? What do you consider when choosing songs?
  • Does anyone have any ‘story songs’ to suggest (i.e. songs with stories in them)? – they are usually great to use in class
  • We believe that slow songs can help students learn intonation, elision etc., but does it really?
  • I guess the very first thing is defining why you’re playing a song in class. Is it just for fun or is there a clear learning goal?
  • Any of your students think they are “bad” in English because they don’t understand the lyrics of songs in English?
  • Any success with songs from musicals?
  • Instrumental music can be a gr8 way to frame a guided visualisation. How else do you use music without words?
  • Anyone done any football songs in class?
  • Part One: The questions
  • Part Two: Other threads
  • Part Three: Other Comments and Activities (in brief)
  • PS The Recommendations
