This book unpacks recent changes in the landscape of literature and
language teaching, and aims to find new explanations for the
altered relationships between readers and writers, the
democratisation of authorship, and the emergence of new ways of
using language. By examining topics as various as literature and
technology, multimodality, and new Englishes, the authors take a
fresh look at the use of literature as a tool in the teaching of
English to second-language speakers. More than simply a way of
teaching aesthetic and ethical values and rhetorical skills, they
argue that literature can also be used to help students to
critically evaluate assumptions about society, culture and power
which underpin the production and reception of texts. The book
relates theories of language acquisition and literary criticism to
examples of literary texts from a wide range of global literature
in English, and discusses new ways of engaging with it, such as
transmedia story telling, book blogs and slam poetry. It will be of
interest to language teachers and teacher trainers, and to students
and scholars of applied linguistics, TESOL, and digital literacies.
