Conclusion

I feel very privileged knowing that you are taking your time to read my blog. My name is Sirjean St. Helen and I recently finished the compilation of this blog. I must admit that completing this blog was a very challenging task. Nevertheless the content of what makes up the blog has helped me profoundly. I have learned a lot from the course. Throughout my two years as a student - teacher, I have been wondering about why and how an English teacher can use literature in language lessons. I have always felt afraid to use inappropriate strategies to teach students. This I know is a very important issue to consider if the students are to be taught well. Through this course, particularly working on the different tasks in this blog, I believe that I have a more extensive view on the different approaches that English teachers can use to teach literature with the language learner. All of the literatures I have read have been very helpful to me although some of the readings were not as interesting in comparison to others. However, they really helped me with my blog entries.

I would like to thank Mr. Emmanuel, the course lecturer for the exposure to blog in order for us to share our ideas and reflections and I do hope that the rest of the class has benefitted from the blog as well. It is my sincere hope that we all will use some of what we learnt as we look forward to going to Teaching Practice soon.

Thank you.
