INTRODUCTION
Picturebooks introduce children to English in a natural and authentic way and provide a meaningful context for language use. They expose children to rich, authentic language as the language is not sequenced or graded. This fusion of the best in trade publishing with PELT pedagogy provides a flexible and motivating resource and an enriching experience in the classroom.
OBJECTIVES
This 3-day face-to-face course is ideal for teachers who would like to use or who are already using picturebooks as a resource in their PELT classrooms. During the course, you will develop your awareness and understanding of the potential and flexibility of picturebooks as a motivating resource and develop your competencies for exploiting them effectively.

• understand the theory and benefits of a story-based approach and the criteria to use when selecting picture books for a specific group of children
