Upper primary and lower secondary teachers
• Discuss the power of the literary text to awaken, enhance and develop imagination.
• Analyze ways to use literary texts to help learners develop creative and critical thinking skills.
• Explore the potential the expressive language of literary texts has to help foreign language learners develop language awareness and appropriation.
• Think, design and plan a variety of tasks that integrate artistic expressions such as visual art, drama and creative writing to help students express themselves (and create alternative worlds) artistically and in English. E.g. Lapbooks!
The workshop explores the power of the literary text to help readers enhance their imagination and their creative and critical thinking skills. It highlights the role the expressive language of literary texts has to help foreign language learners develop language awareness and appropriation. We will discuss the potential images have in the construction of alternative worlds and we will plan, design and carry out a variety of tasks that integrate different artistic expressions and which we can do with children and teens.
