Young adult literature in particular is a popular genre among readers, but not in the educational system. This paper aims to introduce this literary genre into the English as a Foreign Language classroom through a project based on three celebrated novels, chosen for both their contents and for what they may contribute to students educationally and personally. This paper can be divided into three parts. The first one is a brief examination of how literature and young adult literature have been used in EFL classrooms and the benefits they can have in students. The second part presents the three novels and the authors chosen: Turtles All the Way Down by John Green, The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas and Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli. Finally, the third and last part involves the nine lesson plans that compose the project and the worksheets that can be found in the annex. Key words: Young Adult Literature, English as a Foreign Language, Teaching Language, Teaching Culture. Table of contents 1. Introduction and objectives 1 2. State of the question 1 2.1. -
Paired Progression and Regression in Award-Winning
Prizing Cycles of Marginalization: Paired Progression and Regression in Award-Winning LGBTQ-themed YA Fiction Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Christine N. Stamper Graduate Program in Education: Teaching and Learning The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee Mollie V. Blackburn, Advisor Michelle Ann Abate Linda T. Parsons 1 Copyrighted by Christine N. Stamper 2018 2 Abstract This dissertation is a text-based analysis of young adult novels that have won LGBTQ-focused awards, specifically the Stonewall Book Award and Lambda Literary Award. The project engages with queer theory (Puar; Duggan; Ferguson; Halberstam) and the frameworks of cultural capital and prizing canon formation (English; Kidd and Thomas; Kidd). Looking at the 61 YA novels that have been recognized by either Stonewall or Lambda between 2010 and 2017, I provide statistics about the identities, themes, and ideologies of and about LGBTQ people that are prominent within the awards’ canons. Pairing these statistics close readings of representative texts provides a rich analysis of the way these awards both subvert and uphold understandings of those minoritized for their gender or sexuality. Stonewall and Lambda aim to promote novels that provide diverse and inclusive LGBTQ representations. However, these representations construct understandings of LGBTQ identity that support hetero-, homo- and cisnormative constructions that are palatable to adult and heteronormative culture. Throughout, I refer to this often paradoxical balance as the pairing of progression and regression. I explore not only what is considered excellence but also how these texts construct a vision of LGBTQ lives that still fit within oppressive models of society. -

This action arises out of a literary agency’s wrongful refusal to pay earned, non-discretionary residual commissions due to a literary agent pursuant to a written commission agreement. Plaintiff Brooks Sherman, a literary agent previously affiliated with Defendant The Bent Agency, Inc. (“TBA”), has earned and accrued rights to a residual commission stream worth well in excess of $1.5 million. TBA paid Mr. Sherman his commissions for seven years, including more than three years after he left TBA. In April 2021, just prior to Plaintiff initiating this action, TBA and its mercurial principal and CEO, Jenny Bent, repudiated the commission obligation and failed to make a required periodic payment. 2.

She possesses an Affinity for fire— a dangerous gift for the future queen of a land where magic is forbidden. To make matters worse, she must learn to ride Mynaria’s formidable warhorses before her coronation—and her teacher is the person who intimidates her most, the prickly and unconventional Princess Amaranthine, sister of her betrothed.

To Read or Not To Read: Navigating Young Adult Literature in the Classroom in the Age of Trigger Warnings and Banned Books Ashley Sell ENG-499H: Honors Project Dr. Alice Trupe Sell 1 Introduction Before the 1900s, the terms “teenager” and “young adult” did not exist and were not considered demographic-describing nouns until World War Two (Cart 3). In fact, American society only recognized two defined stages of development, childhood and adulthood, with the point of transition between the two being the entrance of a child into the workforce, therefore entering adulthood (Cart 3-4). Then where did the terms come from, and how did they obtain such prominence in the past hundred years? According to Michael Cart, The Great Depression played a role in the emergence of “youth culture,” in part due to the large increase of young individuals’ high school attendance (5). -

Summer 2011 Posted on August 16, 2011 by Smhughes
The Journal of Research on Libraries and Young Adults The official research journal of the Young Adult Library Services Association Editor’s Message: Summer 2011 Posted on August 16, 2011 by smhughes by Sandra Hughes-Hassell Researchers present the findings of their studies in a number of ways. While the primary avenue for dissemination is still the peer-reviewed journal, other means such as juried conference papers and presentations, as well as juried poster sessions, are frequently utilized. Some funding agencies require researchers to publish their studies on the web as a way to share their research with a broader audience. YALSA provides opportunities for researchers to utilize the method that works best for them.’ Researchers are invited to submit papers and proposals for peer review to the Young Adult Literature Symposium, and this year the YALSA Committee on Research and Statistics sponsored a juried poster session at ALA’s Annual Conference in New Orleans. The Frances Henne/YALSA/ VOYA (Voice of Youth Advocates) Research Grant annually provides $1,000 in’ seed money for small scale research projects that respond to the YALSA Research Agenda. The papers that result from these projects were published in Young Adult Library Services (YALS) and will now be published in JRLYA. Recently, YALSA launched the Network for Research on Libraries and Teens, a community and space “for those interested in and performing teen research to connect with each other” (http://yaresearch.ning.com/). In line with this approach, this issue of JRLYA includes both a peer-reviewed article and five juried posters. In her article, “The Silent Message: Professional Journals’ Failure to Address LGBTQ Issues,” Elizabeth Koehler provides a look at the challenges faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) teenagers in the United States. -
