Abstract

While learning foreign languages, literature is an important element, providing our pupils not only linguistic but also socio-cultural context. Therefore, if well chosen, it is a source of pleasure and entertainment, fostering motivation and a more positive predisposition to that language, which can lead to an improvement in learning. Nowadays, the new technologies and the Internet can bring literature closer to schools, more easily. The main aim of this article is to present a series of different resources to improve the utilization of literature in English in Infant and Primary Schools.
