Using Graded Classic Readers in the EFL Class: Why and How?
Graded readers are widely recognized as an enjoyable and effective tool for EFL learners to develop key language skills such as reading fluency, vocabulary acquisition, and overall confidence. These readers come in various forms—fiction, nonfiction, and adapted classic literature. In this presentation, I will focus on classic readers, which serve as accessible gateways to timeless stories and literary styles. Classic readers not only help learners engage with literature in a manageable way but also offer insights into diverse cultures, historical contexts, and worldviews, enriching the language learning experience. Together, we will explore practical classroom activities and share ideas on how to foster positive associations with reading through the use of classic graded readers.
