Secondary School Teachers of English Language and Literature.
To get teachers to:
- Reflect on digital media texts and hyperfiction (interactive literature only read on a computer screen) and their impact on language and literature education when teaching high school students.
- Explore ways in which reading interacts with other media, particularly ICTs.
- Reflect on the reading skills needed to make sense of hypertext.
- Consider critically the dialogue between images and text.
- Reflect upon the impact of “intermediality” on education.
- Propose ways of dealing with sample texts in high school classes.
- How does print face the ever-growing competition with other media? How can "intermediality" contribute to literary education?.
- Reading skills involved in hyper-reading.
- V-logs and literary pod-casts: the intermedial experience.
- Defining and exploring film poetry and hyperfiction (hands on experience).
- Reflection on how to deal with the challenge of reading the new media in the teenage class.
The facilitator will present the concept of intermediality and exemplify it. Participants will then be invited to reflect on the reception of intermedial texts and the challenges they pose to teachers of language and literature. In the second half of the workshop, participants will be invited to have hands-on experience of film poetry and hyperfiction and will discuss in groups how to exploit such texts in the language and literature class.
