NEW TIPS FOR USING LITERATURE IN THE ESL

Main Article Content

Аннотация:

This article explores innovative strategies for integrating literature into the ESL classroom to support language development, critical thinking, and learner engagement. While literature has long been used as a teaching tool, modern classrooms require updated approaches that suit diverse learner needs. The article presents several new techniques, including the use of micro-literature for manageable reading tasks, the integration of digital platforms to enhance interaction, and the application of “reader as detective” activities to develop inferencing skills. It also highlights flexible literature circles, creative transformation tasks, multicultural text selection, personal connection journals, and performance-based activities as effective ways to deepen comprehension and increase motivation. Together, these tips offer practical, adaptable methods for teachers seeking to make literature more dynamic, accessible, and meaningful for today’s ESL learners.
