- Title
Fiction to Film: Advanced ESL Students Translating Literary Form.
- Authors
Deller, David Charles
- Abstract
The use of English literature has a long history in ELT. The use of film has received significant attention in recent years as well, as an effective vehicle for language development. This paper is a discussion of a classroom attempt to marry the two, in a course structured around both the writing of film treatments based on short stories, and the viewing and critique of films themselves. The preliminary discussion, after an orientation to the setting, commences with brief presentations of, first, the issues in adapting fiction to film, and second, the pedagogical value of film. The bulk of the paper concerns the structure and method of the class itself, and general assessment of its effectiveness.
