I have taught close to 400 titles in the last one and a half decade. Some of the 18 Shakespearean plays I have taught and are teaching now include Othello, Antony & Cleopatra, Macbeth, King Richard III, Romeo & Juliet, Midsummer Night’s Dream, Merchant of Venice, Taming of the Shrew, Julius Caesar, Twelfth Night, As You Like It, Tempest, Hamlet, King Lear and Measure For Measure. For Arthur Miller, I have covered Death of a Salesman, A View from the Bridge, Crucible, All My Sons and doing Playing for Time now. For Tennessee Williams, I have taught A Streetcar Named Desire and The Paper Menagerie. For George Bernard Shaw, the works include Pygmalion, Mrs Warren’s Profession and Saint Joan.
Given the span of time in the tuition profession, you can imagine the number of O-level texts I have ploughed through with my students. O-level texts are refreshed regularly as it is the case with the Literature syllabus in the mainstream schools. Hence the titles of texts I have taught are way too long for me to identify Lower secondary students study a lot of short stories and novellas. I have covered short stories by Roald Dahl, Catherine Lim, and those in A Dip in the Poole and Global Tales.
I have also taught IGCSE, IP and IB literature texts including Gathering Blue, Chinese Cinderella, Sing to the Dawn, and The Clay Marble. I have also taught IGCSE, IP and IB literature texts –The Kiterunner, King of the Castle. Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories, Angela Carter’s The Bloody Chamber and Other Short Stories, Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm, Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale and The Blind Assassin. They add up and it is no wonder that the no of titles covered have reached about 400!
