Статья научная
The article presents the experience of working on the novel Love Experiment by H. Mantel with fourth-year students of the Faculty of Foreign Languages; analyzes the features of the subject matter of the work and the specificity of the author's language, which manifests itself in the brevity and capacity of each phrase, due to the concentration of meaning in one or two words; describes the ways of interpreting the author's ideological principles and cultural characteristics of the historical period.

The article tells about the doubts and problems that arise when reading modern literature with those students who were brought up on traditional books, often unjustifiably called "classics". One of the main "challenges" is to overcome the skepticism of colleagues. If a teacher tries to penetrate the culture through the language of a work of art together with students, is not afraid to listen to their opinion and express his own - success is guaranteed. And these are the principles that are guided in their work by the authors of the article.

Fiction and morality: the case of Master Georgie
Статья научная
The next two articles were sent in separately. The Editorial Board felt that they both raised issues about interpretation of fiction generally, and about assessing moral issues in individual books, in particular. So it was decided to add a third article in which one of the editors would ask questions concerning fiction and moral values, drawing upon the two articles for examples. We hope that readers will contribute to what is an open-ended debate in future issues of FOOTPATH.

Студентам, которые изучают английский как основной предмет, абсолютно необходимо читать и анализировать современную английскую литературу в языковых классах. Важно начать очень внимательно читать первые главы книги, чтобы студенты могли приспособиться к языку, стилю и манере повествования. Это особенно верно, когда нужно читать и исследовать сложную книгу, такую как роман Дж. Коу «What a Carve Up!». Затем студенты работали над главами, посвященными различным персонажам семьи Виншоу, которые изображены на ярком социальном фоне. С самого первого обсуждения в классе стало ясно, что рассказ удалось заинтересовать студентов и что лингвистический и литературный анализ оказались полезными для их лучшего понимания книги. Они очень внимательно относились к множеству деталей, подбирая ключи к разгадке загадок романа. Они оценили разнообразие стилей, предложенных в книге, ее замысловатый сюжет и разнообразную лексику, от журналистского жаргона до политических клише. В ходе обмена идеями (а иногда и очень жарких дискуссий) я обычно избегал принимать чью-то сторону, если только не видел, что не был замечен какой-то важный вопрос.
