Students tend to be bored in language learning when presented and taught only with grammar. Reading authentic books is a motivating and entertaining way to acquire language. It's how we did it in our first language, so it makes sense to use the same method in a second language.
A good library with interesting titles is a must for any language class. I am building a classroom library and collecting titles for students to do novel studies. Just as in an English class, students will be able to choose books that interest them, thereby motivating them to read more.
Additionally, the books will be used as novel studies, and will help my students increase their ability to read, understand, and speak in Spanish.
