Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Olikoye a design-of-materials proposal to introduce literature in the EFL classroom

Abstract

Treball Final de Màster Universitari en Professor/a d'Educació Secundària Obligatòria i Batxillerat, Formació Professional i Ensenyaments d'Idiomes. Codi SAP419. Curs: 2020/2021In the last three decades, literature has regained its position as an educational tool capable of promoting students' linguistic proficiency. Moreover, literary texts convey an education in values and attitudes, alongside an awareness of different cultures and worldviews. Under these parameters, the introduction of authentic reading material in the English as a Foreign Language curriculum seems not only appropriate but desirable. This design-of-material proposal intends to exploit Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's short story Olikoye to achieve the abovementioned results. To this end, the activities and teaching materials comprised in the following Didactic Unit are designed following the three-model approach by Carter & Long (1991), which intends to develop the student's linguistic, cultural and personal growth competences
