Vol. 4 Issue 9 – ELT Webinar: ‘Using literature for language learning’, February 28, 12.00 UK time

The BBC TeachingEnglish team is hosting a webinar on “Using literature for language learning” with Fitch O’Connell on February 28, 12.00 UK time.

Rob Lewis says, “Using literature – in particular short stories and poetry – as a tool for language learning has opened up new paths and opportunities for the language teacher and student. Using the BritLit model Fitch will trace how the creative aspects of using narrative texts have influenced classroom practice and processes and have helped to challenge the rightful place that literature has in English as a Foreign Language. He will also trace the development of the project and its application and examine some of the results that occur when we tap into the creative reserves of our students”.

Speaker of the webinar: Fitch O’Connell, editor, materials writer and teacher trainer.
