Routledge Language, Literature and the Learner - Routledge Applied Linguistics

Language, Literature and the Learner is an edited volume developed from three international seminars on teaching literature in a second or foreign language. This practical guide bridges language and literature instruction, showing educators how to use literary texts as resources for language development with secondary, intermediate and upper-intermediate learners. The book addresses the interface between these traditionally separate subjects within the English curriculum, offering classroom-based strategies for integrating both disciplines. Ideal for language teachers, applied linguistics professionals and curriculum developers seeking to enhance student engagement and language growth through meaningful literary study.
