Teaching English via Literature :)

As I was preparing for lectures/lessons, I find myself particularly drawn to teach students English via literature. The ideas for lessons that come actually are majorly, if not all, literature activities rather than normal English lessons. I find that it's more interesting to teach with a story rather than some boring activity like grammar drills. 

But overall, they all overlap in a way. It's how we design the lessons that actually determine whether it will go towards the literature side or the language-focused side. 

I brought my own laptop and my own speakers (because the speakers here are bad and makes everything muffled. ugh.) and today I think I'm going to get them to watch a movie ;) Then from there we'll see where we develop. I find this more fun :)

So anyways, more updates on what's going on later ;)
