PBET3211 – LITERARY TEXTS FOR ESL LEARNERS (3 Credit Hours)

Synopsis:

This course focuses on the selection and use of literary texts in English from around the world to develop literature-based programmes for
ESL learners. It examines text-related issues such as subject, language, style, theme and cultural content in relation to learner-related
factors such as age, interest, level of language proficiency and socio-cultural background. This is to enable student teachers to decide wisely
in the processes of text selection and use in the classroom, and for recommendations for extensive reading for students outside the
classroom. Students will also consider guidelines and activities to encourage learners to make their own choices regarding texts.
Discussions will also include the use of the canon, young adult literature, graphic novels, translations as well as abridged and simplified
‘graded reader’ texts. Some consideration will be given to better integrating texts in English by Malaysian authors, and a broadening of the
types of genres considered as ‘literature’. An experiential approach will be used to enable students to consider strategies for helping learners
to access, understand and appreciate personal responses to literary texts from diverse genres, periods and cultures.
