| Resumo: | In recent years literature is gaining more and more importance with regard to its role as a learning resource in the EFL classroom. However, there are still some educators who are reluctant to include literature in their syllabus. Therefore, this dissertation explores the benefits of using authentic literature –specifically short stories– as a way to develop and work on English language reception and production skills. In addition, a didactic proposal is offered to demonstrate this, and it includes activities based on the two short stories written by Ray Bradbury (“A Sound of Thunder” and “The Pedestrian”). |
