This course focuses on various issues related to the use of short stories in the EFL classroom. Students will be introduced to issues of text selection, "didactic analysis", analytical and productive methods, and lesson planning. In total, you will be asked to read approximately ten to twelve short stories, most of which will be "very short" and will be available on Moodle. You will also be asked to develop lesson plans as group assignments (each of which will include a thorough analysis of the teaching and learning potential of the short story under discussion).
This course requires active participation and collaboration with other students.
Please check our website for oral exam requirements. Details will be announced at our first meeting. |
