An Integrated Approach to Teaching Literature in the EFL Classroom (I-TESL-J) - 2 views

  • 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.

  • 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
