In this workshop, we will dive into ways of how teachers can use engaging resources like graphic novels and graded readers to boost students' language skills and critical thinking. In the first part, we will look at real examples to explore how multimodal reading strategies help students strengthen their viewing, listening, writing, and speaking skills in English. Then, in the second part, we will try out different approaches to lesson design and explore how to bring these stories into your classroom in ways that make language learning both meaningful and fun, while also building intercultural understanding.
