Literature in the context of modern culture: Student’s guide on children’s literature

Abstract

The Guide corresponds to the university curriculum of the English language for graduate and post-graduate students. It acquaints the learners – English teachers - with different types, genres and forms of literature and contains some pedagogical recommendations on didactic approaches to literature in foreign language education. The peculiarity of the guide is that it presents literature not in a chronological way, but according to genres, literary forms and themes, that makes it easier for English teacher to select appropriate literary material, taking into consideration the age, grade and psychological characteristics of the pupils. The Guide can be recommended as the main resource at the lessons on English and American literature for graduate and post-graduate students.
