While picturebooks are integral to primary English teaching, they are less commonly used in secondary English teaching. In this course, we will look at picturebooks and other multimodal texts for different levels of learners.

We will

• explore the various aims of reading picturebooks,
• consider competences that can potentially be developed, and
• look at competences teachers need for including literary learning and the development of multiliteracies from early on.

We will combine theoretical considerations with hands-on work with picturebooks. The course will also involve developing lesson ideas.
