Interpretative tasks applied to short stories

Felicity Yorke

Felicity Yorke has been teaching English in Italy for twelve years. She has worked in secondary schools, and at present holds the post of lector at the University of Rome.

This article advocates the use of ‘interpretative tasks’ when the focus of teaching is a short story. Such tasks encourage learners to explore stories beyond the level of pure narrative. They also encourage development of a feel'for creative uses of English in literature. The article offers examples of interpretative tasks based on two well-known stories.
