Abstract
In an attempt to make a Children's Literature course meaningful, I integrated the concepts of critical literacy and bibliotherapy into this elective course offered to a class of Applied-Foreign-Languages-major sophomores at National Formosa University in Taiwan every fall semester. This paper describes two features: (1) my own teaching reflections on the course and (2) a sample course syllabus for Children's Literature. Data sources mainly included my teaching journals, evaluation questionnaires, the students' reflection papers, and the course syllabus. Mostly, I interacted well with my students through the text discussion and various course activities such as an Invitation Activity and English Puppet Show DVD Creating. Pedagogically speaking, this paper may entice interested teachers to rethink what matters in their Children's Literature classroom or relevant courses.
