Literature in Language Education by Geoff Hall

This is a resource for researchers and practitioners in a range of applied linguistics fields, including TESOL, language education and more generally, discourse analysis and stylistics. Pedagogically, this translates into recognition that students can be helped to develop a critical understanding of literary discourse as linguistic communication to the mutual enrichment of their literary, linguistic and cultural understandings. A conceptual map of the field, relevant researchable topics, research guidance and resources, and illustrative case studies drawn widely from real life teaching and research contexts are provided.
