摘要

在英语课堂上，使用真实文学作品并不是什么新鲜事。教师们希望多样化教学材料，创造更多的英语内容，他们把文学作为实现这一目标的一种手段。然而，由于教师或学生对童话内容的现代改编的偏见，童话经常被忽视。本文旨在通过展示童话故事在文化和语言语境中的价值，来展示将童话故事融入作为外语的英语课堂的好处。这篇文章报道了在英语课程中使用真实文学作品的总体收益，并将范围缩小到特别集中在童话故事上。在对童话故事惯例如何提高英语课堂的参与度和理解度进行了广泛的描述之后，我还对其文化和语言特征进行了更深入的探讨。希望在选材上有更多选择的教师能发现本文对在英语课堂上使用童话故事有帮助。

The Benefits of Using Fairy Tales in EFL Classrooms

Use of authentic literature is nothing new to English language classrooms. Teachers who wish to diversify their material and create more engagement with English content have turned to literature as a means to meet this goal. However, fairy tales have often been ignored due to prejudices that either teachers or students have based on modern adaptations of fairy tale content. This paper aims to present the benefits of incorporating fairy tales into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms by showing their value in a cultural and linguistic context. The article reports the overall gains found in using authentic literature in English courses, narrowing in scope to concentrate on fairy tales in particular. After giving a broad description of how fairy tale conventions increase engagement and understanding in English classes, a deeper look into the cultural and linguistic features is added. It is hoped that teachers looking for more options in material selection will find this article useful for justification in using fairy tales in EFL classrooms.
