The Didactics of the Literary Text in Light of the Textual Approach

This study aims to highlight the importance of teaching literary texts in developing the learner’s linguistic, cultural, and aesthetic competencies, with a focus on the transformations that this teaching has undergone due to the evolution of modern linguistic and critical theories. It particularly examines the shift from traditional explanation methods to more open approaches, foremost among them the textual approach. The results showed that teaching literary texts according to the textual approach effectively contributes to enhancing the learner’s linguistic and critical abilities by engaging with the text as an integrated unit connected to its cultural, social, and artistic contexts. The study also demonstrated that adopting the textual approach helps learners acquire skills in comprehension, analysis, and language production, making it an effective educational tool for achieving contemporary educational and linguistic goals.
