Preparing Future Teachers by Using Case Studies from Essays and Fiction

The author, Liudmila Fomina (Trachuk), uses a fictional short story to demonstrate how teachers can adapt a situation in a story or essay and make it useful for students who are preparing to become teachers. Among the benefits are letting students see that teaching challenges are not unique to them and that solutions can be found. The strategy can also “introduce future teachers to quality, contemporary, English-language” writing.
