1. Why it is important to study children's literature?

• Children's literature stimulates an actively engaged
imagination in addition to establishing a foundation for a
child's language growth and learning. Parents and educators
must provide children with high-quality children's literature
if they want to develop in their students a love of reading that
will hopefully last into adulthood. Early reader development
can be facilitated by children's literature. Also, it gives pupils
the chance to react to literature. As well, it helps pupils
appreciate both their own and other people's local cultures.
However, the primary goals of children's literature are to
educate, entertain, and inspire.

2. What are the biggest challenges in studying literature?

• A terrible learning environment, a severe lack of textbooks,
a lack of language ability, misconceptions about the
importance of literature, a hard workload, and a lack of
parental support are, in my opinion, the major challenges to
studying literature. There are several schools without
literary teachers. The lack of textbooks, however, is the
biggest problem. You may encounter difficulties not only
when studying literature but also when teaching it because
of the teacher's stress and burden, anxiety when writing, a
lack of time, and insufficient expertise when conducting
action research. However, some students claim that
literature is a difficult subject for them because they hate
reading, seem unable to engage in critical thinking, and often
trust what other students say.
3. As a future teacher, give tips on how you will teach English
literature in elementary grades?
• I'll implement communicative language teaching as a future
teacher because it tries to place students in a range of real-life
scenarios so they may discover how to use their language skills to
communicate in the outside world. I'll give my students as many
chances as I can to communicate meaningfully with one another. I
will provide them with the outcomes of a comprehensive lesson
and an engaging exercise that inspires the learners' attention.
Making sure the integration is evident and the pupils are
interested is indeed crucial. I will make sure that my students
interact with one another and collaborate to complete their roles
and responsibilities. I will also work on the grammar of my pupils
by practicing the language and building up their exposure to it.
