Kindergarten and primary teachers.

Get teachers to understand the benefits of having a classroom library, discuss what a good classroom library is, see practical ideas in order to exploit this fantastic classroom resource and above all to get to understand that a good library program cannot only foster a love for books that will last forever, but will also enhance the learning of a second language.
- The classroom library.
- The Library program in action.
- Response activities.
- Book Clubs.
- The teacher as a librarian.
In this course teachers will read material related to the topic in order to understand the rationale underlying the use of books in the L2 classroom, we will see practical ideas being implemented by other practitioners and we will discuss how to go about them in our teaching contexts.
