KEEP IN MIND!
Teachers are free to choose whichever genre to start
teaching in Year 4 as long as all genres are covered in
a year.
Teachers need to plan the allocation of time (weeks)
to cover each text according to the needs and level of
their pupils.
If pupils are advanced and teachers have finished
teaching all the texts in the 3 genres, they are
encouraged to use literary texts of their own during the
Language Arts classes.
Benefits Of Using Literature In Second Language Acquisition
 Children's literature is an important part of English language
literature as a body of work, and using it for EFL/ESL teaching
has many benefits for students.
 Exposure to new, illustrated vocabulary in context, provide
repetition of key words and phrases that students can master and
learn to manipulate.
 Pupils feel a sense of accomplishment when they have mastered
a piece of literature written in English.
 Sabrina Peck (2003, p. 141), says that, "Many children do not tire
of practicing a repetitive and rhythmic text several times a day,
many days a week.“
Reference:
Peck, S. (2001). Developing Children's Listening and Speaking Skills in ESL. In Celce-Murcia, Marianne, (Ed.),
Teaching English as a Second or Foreign Language. (pp. 139-149). Boston, USA: Heinle & Heinle.
Let’s take note!
 Do not rush! Give enough time for pupils to interact with the text.
This is to enable pupils to fully absorb the text.
 Short attention span of pupils - Create an active classroom with a
variety of activities.
 Advantage of using children's literature – can be an effective and
enjoyable way to teach language. Pupils who are enthralled by a
story forget their worries and anxieties about the language
 Storyteller Dvora Shurman says, "The best way to teach is not to
impose teaching, but to allow the listener to become so involved in
hearing a story that his 'defenses' are no longer active.“ It is our
sense of enjoyment, excitement, and emotional involvement that is
a necessary condition for learning, and using literature in the
classroom can provide the content base for the magic.
Reference:
Ackerman, T. (1994) Storytelling: A Way of Freeing the Imagination. An Interview with Dvora Shurman. The Journal of the
Imagination in Language Learning and Teaching, 2. Retrieved December 31, 2003, from
http://www.njcu.edu/cill/journal-index.html.
Some Strategies For Classroom Teaching
 A good plan is to have a little enthusiastic singing chanting
recitation, a little quiet listening, a little enthusiastic dancing
/physical activites, and a little quiet artwork.
 Example:
 Sing - Pupils sing, recite, or read a passage from the
story/poems/novels in groups.
 Listen - Pupils listen to the story/poem from beginning to end.
 Dance/Movement- Pupils get out of their chairs for some physical
activity.
 Draw/Write- Pupils may illustrate or complete a piece of work.
 Reading aloud - Anne Burns (2003, p. 22), in her study of
second-language learner attitudes toward literacy learning noted
that "students were almost unanimous in their desire for teachers
to read aloud to them." Pupils find it helpful to hear fluent reading
in English, listening to the written words, hearing correct stress
and intonation patterns, as well as receiving a model for imitation.
Reference:
Burns, A. (2003). Reading Practices: From Outside to Inside the Classroom. TESOL Journal, Volume 12, 18-23.
Conclusion
 The thing to remember in your literature class is to
keep it fun, enjoyable and meaningful. Do not
underestimate your pupils’ ability to enjoy literature
even though they may not be very proficient in the
language. Your challenge as a teacher is to make
literature come alive in your classroom so that your
pupils will begin to develop a love for the English
language and hopefully, this will motivate them to strive
to acquire the language.

  • 7. KEEP IN MIND! Teachers are free to choose whichever genre to start teaching in Year 4 as long as all genres are covered in a year. Teachers need to plan the allocation of time (weeks) to cover each text according to the needs and level of their pupils. If pupils are advanced and teachers have finished teaching all the texts in the 3 genres, they are encouraged to use literary texts of their own during the Language Arts classes.
  • 8. Benefits Of Using Literature In Second Language Acquisition  Children's literature is an important part of English language literature as a body of work, and using it for EFL/ESL teaching has many benefits for students.  Exposure to new, illustrated vocabulary in context, provide repetition of key words and phrases that students can master and learn to manipulate.  Pupils feel a sense of accomplishment when they have mastered a piece of literature written in English.  Sabrina Peck (2003, p. 141), says that, "Many children do not tire of practicing a repetitive and rhythmic text several times a day, many days a week.“ Reference: Peck, S. (2001). Developing Children's Listening and Speaking Skills in ESL. In Celce-Murcia, Marianne, (Ed.), Teaching English as a Second or Foreign Language. (pp. 139-149). Boston, USA: Heinle & Heinle.
  • 9. Let’s take note!  Do not rush! Give enough time for pupils to interact with the text. This is to enable pupils to fully absorb the text.  Short attention span of pupils - Create an active classroom with a variety of activities.  Advantage of using children's literature – can be an effective and enjoyable way to teach language. Pupils who are enthralled by a story forget their worries and anxieties about the language  Storyteller Dvora Shurman says, "The best way to teach is not to impose teaching, but to allow the listener to become so involved in hearing a story that his 'defenses' are no longer active.“ It is our sense of enjoyment, excitement, and emotional involvement that is a necessary condition for learning, and using literature in the classroom can provide the content base for the magic. Reference: Ackerman, T. (1994) Storytelling: A Way of Freeing the Imagination. An Interview with Dvora Shurman. The Journal of the Imagination in Language Learning and Teaching, 2. Retrieved December 31, 2003, from http://www.njcu.edu/cill/journal-index.html.
  • 10. Some Strategies For Classroom Teaching  A good plan is to have a little enthusiastic singing chanting recitation, a little quiet listening, a little enthusiastic dancing /physical activites, and a little quiet artwork.  Example:  Sing - Pupils sing, recite, or read a passage from the story/poems/novels in groups.  Listen - Pupils listen to the story/poem from beginning to end.  Dance/Movement- Pupils get out of their chairs for some physical activity.  Draw/Write- Pupils may illustrate or complete a piece of work.  Reading aloud - Anne Burns (2003, p. 22), in her study of second-language learner attitudes toward literacy learning noted that "students were almost unanimous in their desire for teachers to read aloud to them." Pupils find it helpful to hear fluent reading in English, listening to the written words, hearing correct stress and intonation patterns, as well as receiving a model for imitation. Reference: Burns, A. (2003). Reading Practices: From Outside to Inside the Classroom. TESOL Journal, Volume 12, 18-23.
  • 11. Conclusion  The thing to remember in your literature class is to keep it fun, enjoyable and meaningful. Do not underestimate your pupils’ ability to enjoy literature even though they may not be very proficient in the language. Your challenge as a teacher is to make literature come alive in your classroom so that your pupils will begin to develop a love for the English language and hopefully, this will motivate them to strive to acquire the language. Reference: Burns, A. (2003). Reading Practices: From Outside to Inside the Classroom. TESOL Journal, Volume 12, 18-23.
