51st RTD - Teaching Literature - How to Make it Interesting

Grace Wiradisastra from Univerity of Indonesia started the discussion by sharing what she did in her classrooms, especially how she made her students attracted to literature and how to bring literature closer to the students' world. The examples of her students' works were also brought and displayed all around the room for participants to see. They came from Grace's classes in Atmajaya University and University of Indonesia.





Then, animated discussions and sharing here and there just happened as always. Grace also made us work in small group and then shared, showed, read whaterver masterpieces we created. And...it seemed impossible at the beginning, but...at the end...we made it. Why was it suddenly so easy?
