Are you a teacher or studying to become one?  The course Teachers in Literature: English Literature and Language Teaching invites you to explore how English‑language fiction can illuminate teaching and learning practices and help you reflect on your own professional identity. Through stories that focus on school life, the role of the teacher, and the everyday rhythms of the classroom, you will experiment with research‑informed ways of using narrative to spark discussion and support learners in their emotional and language development.

You will read a range of fiction that presents different cultural perspectives on education. Alongside these texts, you will work with accessible ideas from narrative ethics, literary didactics, and reader‑response theory that offer practical ways of thinking about how stories shape us as readers and teachers. At the end of the course, participants will also have the opportunity to compose their own creative text about teaching

The course is taught online and builds on active engagement. You will take part in discussions, write short reflective texts, and produce creative group assignments. 

Whether you want to renew your practice, broaden your toolkit, or reconnect with the pleasure of reading, this course offers a space to think deeply about teaching and to explore how stories can enrich the work you do in the classroom.

The course is worth 5 ECTS credits.
