Is it possible to younger pupils to read literature in the foreign language? How can this develop their reading and literacy skills? And what is the value of children's fiction in the foreign language class? This course will explore the didactics of children's fiction in the EFL classroom and will hopefully provide you with many creative ideas as well as the enthusiasm needed in order to teach these texts to your future students. Please read the following novels prior to the course. - Eoin Colfer: Artemis Fowl (Vol. 1, 2002) - Antony Horowitz: Stormbreaker (2001). - Trenton Lee Stewart: The Mysterious Benedict Society (2007). - A selection of Short Stories will be provided in the course reader. |
