Literary Texts and Intercultural Learning: Exploring New Directions

This book offers new perspectives on the pedagogical value of literary texts.\n\nThe book is, in the first place, a theoretical study � speculative in nature � about the inherent connection between reading and interculturality. The author argues that reading literary texts may open up a passage to a �third place�, a space in which a student can learn more about their own identity and ultimately arrive at a more nuanced understanding of otherness. Some of the skills implicated in the construction of textual understanding can facilitate intercultural learning, opening up opportunities for a pedagogical approach in which the reading of literary texts develops a student�s intercultural perspective and fosters reflection on cultural difference. The author explores the pedagogical potential of the book�s theoretical premises through a sustained classroom-based example.Literary Texts and Intercultural Learning: Exploring New Directions 1st Edition is written by Ana Goncalves Matos and published by Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften.
