You must log in to view sessions Literature in Language Teaching (LILT) General Featured Speaker Workshop

This workshop will illustrate an Access, Activity, and Awareness methodology (Jones & Carter, 2012) and show how we can apply this method to any piece of literature. This interactive workshop will demonstrate that literary texts are rich in both spoken and written language by asking participants to work directly with a range of sample texts. It will also show that such texts can develop student engagement and language awareness at different levels and age groups.
