Research
This
paper explores the ways that mystery stories can be successfully utilized to
improve language proficiency and linguistic ability.
Questions
1. Are the characters in mystery stories any less
important than other types of English study?
2. Can
the study of mystery stories make students realize that they can learn English
and, in doing so, help them become smarter, and better prepared to deal with
their future.
3. Can students realize that an understanding of
the mystery story is a means of dealing with the challenges of learning
language?
Methodology
The methodology that used is group discussion.
Findings
Students develop the ability
to recognize and analyze, remember significant details, and form opinions as to
the identity of culprits.
Conclusions
By studying and analyzing
mystery stories, students can become more discerning readers and develop
critical thinking skills. Students can learn that language is vital to their
success and well-being and that by studying attitudes and surroundings of
characters, they will begin to appreciate the learning process. They begin to
understand English as a human experience, rather than a series of isolated
structures and grammar points, and, most importantly, learn that it is not
merely a matter of vocabulary to be memorized for a test.
Opinion
After I
read the journal, I think using mystery stories in the classroom is an
attractive way to learn English.
