Reviews
As a linguist and former English language instructor, I greatly enjoyed and benefitted from reading this book of which the title sets clear expectations for the content ... Keeps the reader actively engaged from cover to cover ... I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in teaching and learning modern foreign languages ... The resourcefulness and generosity of language teachers are remarkable indeed. * Journal of Applied Learning & Teaching *
Fills a gap in language learning and teaching research, and convincingly shows how literature can inspire students, participate in their language instruction and education. Absolutely necessary for teachers and researchers in language didactics. * Juliette Delahaie, Professor of Teaching and Learning, Lille University, France *
Examines how stories are central to the human experience and how literature in various forms can help learners contextualize, and begin to engage with, the culture of the language they are learning. It is full of practical ideas for integrating literature into schemes of work for younger learners from KS2 through to older learners in KS5. * Dinah Warren, Senior Lecturer in Languages Education, University of Exeter, UK *
