Use of literature in foreign language teaching has
been viewed as one of the traditional ways of
teaching for centuries. Compared to its popularity,
the research about the use of literature is quite
limited. In this book, discursive structure of
classroom talk has been analyzed both
academically and socially to identify the nature of
literary discussions. A foreign language literature
class in Turkey was observed for one semester and
qualitative analyses were conducted following a
discourse analysis method. The findings of the study
revealed mixed results. Possible reasons of the
findings were explained with educational
implications.
This book aims to describe the nature of literary
discussions in an EFL literature class in a Turkish
university setting. It is intended for researchers
who deal with qualitative analysis of classroom
discourse, and studens and teachers who inquire
about what is going on in an EFL literature class in
terms of nature of dicourse and classroom dynamics.
