Abstract:

The use of literature in second language teaching has been advocated for a
number of years, yet despite this there have only been a limited number of
studies which have sought to investigate its effects. Fewer still have focused
on its potential effects as a model of spoken language or as a vehicle to
develop speaking skills. Drawing upon multiple research studies, this volume
fills that gap to explore how literature is used to develop speaking skills in
second language learners. The volume is divided into two sections: literature
and spoken language and literature and speaking skills. The first section
focuses on studies exploring the use of literature to raise awareness of
spoken language features, whilst the second investigates its potential as a
vehicle to develop speaking skills. Each section contains studies with
different designs and in various contexts including China, Japan and the UK.
The research designs used mean that the chapters contain clear implications
for classroom pedagogy and research in different contexts.
