Supporting Elementary Students’ Reading Through Authentic Literature for Children

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Research surveys carried out periodically by the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study show that the highest levels of reading literacy can be found in countries where literary texts are often used for teaching purposes. A direct relationship between the level of reading literacy and the use of literary texts in language education is thus suggested. Moreover, children’s literature seems to be good preparation for reading literary texts as adults. In the past few decades, the use of literary texts in ELT has been advocated in countries where English is the first language. Introducing children’s literature makes reading enjoyable, as literary texts develop the student’s whole personality and they can become an important ingredient of the language learning process. Literary texts should be introduced into the classroom. Drawing the students’ attention to literary texts can also lead to encouraging them to read more extensively outside their English class. Unfortunately, at present, very few literary texts are used in coursebooks in English language teaching context in the Czech Republic. This chapter discusses how this problem was addressed in two classroom contexts and in a teacher education course and it argues that literary texts can be used, not only at the elementary school level in this context but also in ELT classes at any school level.
