Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studying Language through Literature invites readers to reconsider the opportunity represented by literary texts for language-related purposes. Despite the close relationship between literature and language in educational contexts, literature is frequently associated with teaching practices which have been judged to be unsuccessful. Subsequently, texts of the non-literary type are preferred, on the basis that they are ‘authentic’ and closer to ‘real’ language. The everlasting relationship between language and literature is here reassessed starting from two assumptions: literature is the expression of an emphasized perception of reality – be it private, collective, or pertaining to a certain temporal/spatial context; and literary language is language in its utmost form. Following an outline of the philosophy that governs the book, each chapter presents specific insights on the use of the various different literary genres: namely, fiction, poetry and drama. The opportunities offered by translation in the foreign language classroom constitute a recurrent theme throughout the book, although Chapter 5 is entirely devoted to translation criticism. The closing pages put forward a few reflections on assessment. While offering some food for thought in order to reassess the role of literature in the language class, this book puts together ideas, considerations and suggestions from which the reader is free to pick, mix and adjust, exploiting them to her/his greatest benefit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although many scholars have emphasised the value of literature as authentic and motivating material to be deployed in the FL (foreign language) classroom, it seems that a sense of unease still exists amongst practitioners. Literature is often absent in FL courses based on the claim that it is too linguistically and culturally difficult. Proceeding from the recognition that a difference exists between the theory and the practice of integrating literature in FL courses, this qualitative study investigates practitioners' views about literature's role in motivating learners, promoting their reading habits and skills in the FL and about the role of the teacher when literary texts are deployed. Findings confirm the potential of literature to enhance motivation, promote the development of reading skills and boost students' desire to read further in a FL; however, they reveal that such potential often remains unrealised in the FL classroom. The role of teachers in terms of beliefs about, knowledge of and approach to using literary texts for FL learning emerges as crucial. Findings also highlight the relevance of FL extensive reading skills for students' positive response to literature, suggesting that a deeper understanding of how these work and can be taught should complement teaching practice.

First of all, it contributes to the widening of the canon as it focuses on Ugandan childrens fiction. Secondly, the research connects to the few empirical studies that exist in the field.

Download or read book Teaching Literature and Writing in Prisons written by Sheila Smith McKoy and published by Modern Language Association. This book was released on 2023-10-13 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the work of Malcolm X, Angela Y. Davis, and others has made clear, education in prison has enabled people to rethink systems of oppression. Courses in reading and writing help incarcerated students feel a sense of community, examine the past and present, and imagine a better future. Yet incarcerated students often lack the resources, materials, information, and opportunity to pursue their coursework, and training is not always available for those who teach incarcerated students. This volume will aid both new and experienced instructors by providing strategies for developing courses, for creating supportive learning environments, and for presenting and publishing incarcerated students' scholarly and creative work. It also suggests approaches to self-care designed to help instructors sustain their work. Essays incorporate the perspectives of both incarcerated and nonincarcerated teachers and students, centering critical prison studies scholarship and abolitionist perspectives. This volume contains discussion of Mumia Abu-Jamal's Live from Death Row, Marita Bonner's The Purple Flower, Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, and William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew and Othello.
