Teaching a second language especially English becomes a insurmountable task because there is often no dialogue between those targetted and those imparting the language. Often those who teach English are hampered by their excessive pride in the superiority of their vernacular or the first language coupled with their lack of awareness of the idioms of English and lack of fluency in spoken English. We often forget language is inextricably linked with cutural forms and therefore the literature in the language which reflects its cultural mileau is a wonderful resource. However the methodology adopted cannot be so casual as with the methodology used with native speakers when teaching even story texts a more deliberate focus on structures will be needed and moreover teaching to read by phonemic alpbabet and similar sounding monosyllabic words in the beginning will help students assimilate the spelling sound pattern more quickly.

This a very interesting story and there are many follow up activities! thanks
