Great YA Books for EFL Students, Part II

Posted on July 7, 2021

by Joyce S

Curating this booklist brings back many fond memories of mine as I used to teach EFL (English as a Foreign Language) while living as an expat overseas. If you’re an educator like I am, you are well aware that finding suitable reading material can be both arduous and heartbreaking. I hope this list makes it a bit easier for you. And for those that are simply curious and looking for the next great read: cheers!

Please note that this blog post is part of a curated series by yours truly.
