For many years, English has been taught in secondary schools by
following a textbook, rejecting any kind of authentic materials, especially literary
texts. Nowadays, the number of researchers pointing out the benefits of
teaching teenagers with authentic literature is increasing. For this reason, this
project aims to show that it is possible to teach English using authentic literary
texts, focusing on three different models: the linguistic model, the cultural model
and the personal-growth model. Thus, students are taught not only the
vocabulary and grammar rules of the English language, but also some cultural
aspects and values, while instilling in them the motivation to read for pleasure.
In order to carry out this project, the first modality has been chosen,
concerning an educational improvement. Therefore, I have created a teaching
proposal using novels belonging to YAL genre, in order to implement it in a
secondary school during my Practicum period. The unit was taught to students
from 1st ESO, and the results obtained, although limited in scope, seem to prove
that literature is an invaluable resource to teach English to teenagers.
