The objective of this paper is to show that teaching English through literature in the
EFL classroom can work. But the most interesting part is that it is addressed to a
specific group of students that is serving judicial admission measures, so they have a
lack of motivation towards school, and the teachers’ work in this centre is more
complicated.
For this reason, I have created a didactic unit based on the novel Jane Eyre, because
they can feel identified with some of the episodes that the main character experiences in
her life. Furthermore, as Jane Eyre is a biography, it is also a point in favour, due to
their interest in this kind of novels. Something really surprising for me, when I was
doing my internship, was the fact that some of the students read Jane Eyre as a freereading
option at the beginning of the academic course.
Moreover, I have chosen a graded book because it can motivate them to continue
reading a novel that they can understand and follow, due to its easy vocabulary and
grammar constructions that are adapted to them.
The kind of activities that we can find in the didactic unit are dynamic and easy to
complete, because there is not a unique correct answer, so they can be creative and
express their own ideas and opinions towards the novel.
These are divided into three different sections: pre-reading activities, while-reading
activities and post-reading activities. They foster the improvement of the four main
communicative skills which are the reading, speaking, listening and writing.
The results of the implementation are explained at the end of the paper, so we will see
how students worked and if we can confirm the main points that are defended here.
Finally, it is important to mention, that this didactic unit will be used as a complement
to their daily English lessons, and not as an alternative to them. [-]
