English language teaching methodologies
·
Literature is authentic material. It is good to expose learners to this
source of unmodified language in the classroom.
DRAWING: WHY DO IT?
Our young people need some remedial
visualization experiences, some encouragement and practice with creating
sensory images as they read. Drawing, charting, mapping, and other forms of
graphic response also serve the range of learning styles that exist in any real
classroom. Too often, we confine student’s literary responses to written or
spoken language, even though we know that some of our own most powerful
responses to a book come from a vision of the place. Our image of a character,
or the picture we make of a single stunning moment. Many times, a drawn or
graphic response can capture those elements better than more words.
Teaching literature with new methodologies allows children and young
people to develop their potential and steer it in a new and interesting
creative learning through drawing.
