by Miguel Mantero
Category: Education

The current teaching practices and uses of literature in language classrooms are challenged here. Focusing on the role of cognition in language learning, the author provides classroom teachers and researchers with valuable conclusions and insights into on the use of literature or authentic texts in foreign language classrooms, such as how to organize and approach the literature, how to evaluate their students' oral proficiency, and how to approach the correction of grammar errors in discourse.
