Adapted Fiction as a Teaching Tool in the English-Language Classroom

Albéris Eron Flávio de Oliveira (Brazil)

Abstract

Based on a research study involving 144 secondary school students from a state school in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, this presentation aims to demonstrate that the use of readers in the classroom is an effective way to involve students in the learning process. It draws upon the theoretical frameworks of Larsen-Freeman (2000), Hill (2001), Kramsch (2001), Brown (2007), Marcuschi (2008), Almeida Filho (2007), among others. 

Working with adapted fiction as a teaching tool in the English-language classroom can be a special way to involve students in the learning process. It allows for the incorporation of students’ world knowledge and makes them real participants in communicative purposes. Additionally, it introduces students to great authors and contexts and helps them develop a critical and responsive commitment to special themes. Adapted fiction also offers a broadened cultural awareness by bringing the reality of another culture into the classroom.
