Literature in English Communication Courses

Sun, Nov 22, 18:30-18:55 JST
This workshop will introduce some very short stories, so-called flash fiction, that might be used in addition to or integrated with typical EFL textbooks and show how to incorporate the stories in an English Communication class. Literature is open to multiple interpretations, and these various opinions about a text promote genuine discussion. Furthermore, the use of literary texts has the potential to expose students to world Englishes and various cultures. No literary background required.
