This book is a comprehensive and thorough introduction to
children's and young adult literature in English language
education. Reading is promoted as central to language education in
order to experience perspectives from around the world, and the
book demonstrates the many opportunities for teaching with
compelling story, encouraging an active and engaged community of
second language readers through challenging picturebooks,
motivating graphic novels, dynamic plays, enchanting verse novels
and compelling young adult fiction. Using many examples of literary
texts that are well suited to the primary or secondary classroom,
the book focuses on the advantages of deep reading and the vital
importance of in-depth learning. In-depth learning is an approach
that involves the students as motivated participants, working
collaboratively and with empathy while preparing for and
confronting the challenges of the 21st century. Illustrating the
approach with a Deep Reading Framework based in research and
theory, Janice Bland guides the reader to discover and learn how to
make use of literary texts in a way that challenges students to
become involved in interculturality, creativity and critical
literacy. Throughout the book the emphasis is on an approach that
puts the reader and language learner in the centre - not a study of
literature but a study of how readers learn through compelling
story.
