Resumo
Language learning through
literature dates to the teaching of classical
languages, with the grammar-translation
method. Years after the consensus on the
limitations of this method, the use of literature
in language classes is still very similar to that
of those times. Today, studies such as those
by Duff and Maley (1990) and Babaee and
Yahya (2014) point to a more conversational
use of literature, emphasizing its various
cognitive, cultural, and communicational
aspects. The purpose of this research is to
survey the theories that support this
communicative use of literature in the
classroom and, in the end, to analyze data on
the experience of putting such views into
practice. The results show that teachers can
help learners improve their language skills by
using the vast possibilities of literature while
talking about existential, cultural, historical,
and poetic themes of literary texts.
