The examination-oriented style of teaching and the general paucity of valuable content in EFL course books at senior secondary schools lead to undesirable educational outcomes. They can be avoided by integrating valuable films, literature, songs and other texts of culture into the system of preparation for the school leaving examination in English.
This book addresses the issue of using texts of culture in the EFL classroom. It analyzes some of the common problems observed in the teaching of English to senior secondary schools students, particularly in the context of the school leaving examination. It offers a discussion of the role of English language education in the school curriculum and stresses the importance of using texts with cognitive appeal at lessons. It presents the impact of literature, films and songs on the student’s overall development and a set of criteria for text selection. It also investigates the English teacher’s role in exploiting the educational potential of culture texts and proposes a way of integrating them with a system of preparation for the school leaving examination in English.
