The stories of literature in language teaching

Amos Paran on a career spent arguing that language learners should be given real books.

TalkBooks & writers

At University College London, Institute of Education.

Whether literature belongs in a language classroom has been argued over for decades, and the answer differs by country and curriculum: there is no single view, only competing stories about what a novel or a poem is for when the class is learning the language it is written in. Paran, who has worked on the question for thirty years, takes stock. At the Institute of Education on Bedford Way.
