Implementing Fairytales in the EFL Classroom

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to provide English teachers with practical advice on how to implement fairy tales in EFL lessons for young learners who belong to the generation Alpha, children born between 2010 and 2024. These children have more access to technology, virtual reality and online information than any other generation before them. Yet, fairytales remain a staple kind of literature for young learners because of their universal features. There are three key factors to consider when using fairytales in EFL classes for the generation Alpha: a) the latest trends in technology, with particular emphasis on animated children stories; b) the increasing demands for more social interaction and development of interpersonal skills; and c) appropriateness of the contents and values they promote. The main challenge for English teachers is choosing adequate fairytales that raise significant questions about topical issues such as personal identity, gender and social (in) equality, moral values of the Western world, and rules of etiquette. It is necessary to consider all of these aspects in order to design an effective English lesson.
