We
will be having a look at both individual and classroom reading for young
adults (basically 13-15 year-olds; 3rd to 5th year of English ), with
a focus on recent material and at a short typology of exercises that
can go with them. Most of the books have been read by youngsters as individual reading material and been feedbacked in various ways, so it can be safely said which books are popular with young language learners. Wherever possible, film tips will be added. Particular attention will be given to the new wave of vampire literature. |
