Do you or your students love Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings or Twilight? How about Naruto, Inuyasha or Fairy Tail? Or maybe Pokéman, Call of Duty, or Assassin’s Creed? Do you wish you could use them in your teaching? This free half-day workshop introduces the use of fanfiction for language and literature teaching. Participants will engage in learning-through-doing modules developed by the FanTALES project including an overview of fanfiction and common genres and tropes, tools and techniques for searching fanfiction archives, and in-class short-form fanfiction writing. The workshop is designed for in-service and pre-service language teachers at the middle and high school levels but is open to all who are interested. No previous experience with fanfiction is necessary.
