Routledge Language, Literature and the Learner Textbook

Language, Literature and the Learner: Creative Classroom Practice offers a practical guide for educators working at the intersection of language and literature. Developed from three international seminars, this volume explores how literature serves as a valuable resource for language growth. It is specifically designed for teaching at secondary, intermediate, and upper-intermediate levels. This book moves beyond the traditional view of language and literature as separate subjects within the English curriculum. Instead, it provides actionable classroom-based strategies to help learners develop linguistic skills through literary study. Whether you are a teacher looking for new methods or a student of applied linguistics, this text provides insights into using literary texts to support language acquisition in second or foreign language settings.
