"The book written by Prof. Griffiths is designed both for English language teachers and learners. In the first section, the theoretical background provides the readers the essential knowledge that prove the potential of literature to promote intake by providing cognitively and affectively engaging authentic comprehensible input which expands cultural horizons and contributes dynamically to the learner's complex and developing language system. In the second section aims to extend literary repertoires which can be orchestrated as appropriate to a particular audience, occasion or context, and the subsections are organized according to genre.
The final section focuses on using literature in the language classroom. First principles for an integrated approach to using literature to learn/teach language (the L3 approach) is explained, followed by an example of a possible lesson or lesson model for each of the 12 genres included in this book. Being a teacher trainer/ educator for a long time, I always had worries about how to train teacher candidates on the integration of literature in their future classes. With this book now I feel more confident on the issue. Thank you, Carol for this great work."
