Learning the value of literature


MANY students and parents question the benefit of studying literary texts in the English language class, failing to see the relevance of literature in their own lives. The 15th Melta Conference, with the theme Reading and Writing: Preparing ESL Learners for the Real World, addresses this lack of understanding about the value of literature through a number of sessions. 

Melta President Assoc Prof Dr Malachi Edwin, in his paper Reading Texts, Reading the World, will speak about the importance of taking students beyond the level of reading for the sole purpose of passing examinations.
