Abstract

AbstractThe author introduces the literature selection bookmark, a tool that inservice and preservice teachers who are teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) in international contexts can use to guide them in selecting authentic children’s English literature and analyze its utility in the elementary English‐language classroom. Authentic children’s English literature, stories written for children to read for pleasure in English‐speaking countries, are a useful teaching resource in the EFL classroom. The author describes the tool’s function, design, and use in a teacher preparation course for preservice EFL teachers in Hong Kong. The author also includes preservice teachers’ thoughts about the bookmark’s potential usefulness in the EFL classroom.
