The course focuses on fostering an appreciation and understanding of literature with child protagonists and its potential for
use in school classrooms. There will be close readings of important representative examples from prose and poetry, and
in-class activities working on reading, speaking, writing and listening English-language skills. The students will be expected
to give thought to the history of and criticism of this literature, as well as to the possible application of, and extension of, the
in-class activities for primary- and secondary-school English classrooms.
