Short narrative texts are good for the language classroom because they are short and narrative.
Therefore this volume treats the teaching potential of Shorties on a theoretical level (part A)
a methodological level (part B) and a practical level (part C). Part A highlights the topic
from the perspectives of different academic disciplines in this case from a TEFL as well as
from a linguistic and literary viewpoint. In part B methodological contributions on selected
texts media and procedures are assembled. Part C is a collection of concrete sample lessons
for teaching English at various levels. These lesson plans have been designed at university
carried out and evaluated by 11 experienced teachers and finally revised by the editor.
