Abstract | This article was an examination of the relationship between presenting controversial literature in middle school English Language Arts classrooms and adolescent students' social and emotional development. Social and emotional development (SEL) of adolescents were understood in view of psychological theory and educational research. The consequences of book banning were considered, and an argument for introducing adolescents to controversial literature were explored. The evidence supported the premise that controversial literature fosters adolescents' emotional and social development by promoting critical thinking that challenges stereotypes, promotes empathy for others, and reveals the complexity of how culture, race and lifestyle affect a person's perception and behavior (Masko and Bloem, 2017). The authors concluded that effective pedagogical methods are needed to present such literature to adolescents and young adults. Recommendations of those highly efficacious and culturally sensitive teaching methods that promote adolescents' social and emotional growth and development were delineated. (As Provided). |
