This e-book was originally published in print form by the Catalan Teachers of English Association,
Associació de Professors d'Anglès de Catalunya (APAC), to help launch the BritLit initiative at the
APAC Congress in February 2009. It coincided with a visit to schools in the city of author Louise
Cooper, who also contributes to this book, and a short series of workshops for teachers about the
project.

This slightly revised version has been produced because it was recognised that teachers worldwide
would be interested in the contents, not just those fortunate enough to live in Catalonia. The contents
cover the whole range of BritLit activity in that the voices of teachers and authors are heard along with
some comments from students, as well as more detailed studies from the project team and
academics.

The BritLit project has produced numerous resources for teachers and students, which can be found
on the British Council Teaching English website http://www.teachingenglish.org.uk/try/resources/britlit.
These include the complete versions of the sample kits to be found in this book as well as nearly 40
other resource packs or kits, ranging from stories for primary school learners of English to those
studying at tertiary level.
