Literature in Language: Teaching and Learning

by Amos Paran (Editor)

This book brings to life the organic connection between literature and language teaching. Believing that learners do not learn in isolation but absorb what is around them, the contributors to this volume prove that language and literature do not have to be taught in separate realms.

This book adeptly shows how the study of literature can be successfully integrated with ESL/EFL teachings. Contributors to this book share practical applications and case studies used to make literary teachings come alive in varied ESL/EFL classroom settings around the world.

Taking these conditions as a foundation for effective pedagogy, she shows teachers how to use technology to create "a whole learning environment" with their students.
