This book examines how literary texts can be incorporated into teaching practices in an EFL classroom. It takes a multi-faceted approach to how English language teaching and learning can best be developed through presentation and exploration of literary texts.This volume more than fulfils its aims, providing valuable insights into and confirming the merits of using literature in EFL contexts. As such, it is an important and relevant contribution to a thriving discipline and thus well worth reading. (Cliff Kast, Reading in a Foreign Language, Vol. 29 (2), October, 2017)
