and experiences depicted. Authenticity helps learners connect with the characters and
settings, promoting a deeper understanding of diverse cultures.

experiences of the learners. Choose themes and situations that are relatable and
meaningful to their cultural identities and contexts, allowing them to see themselves
reflected in the narratives.

the stories, aligning them with the learners' language proficiency level. Opt for texts that
are accessible yet challenging enough to support language development and
comprehension skills.
