Literature has always received little attention in the English as a Foreign Language
educational curriculum. The main reason for that has been a favouritism towards other
formal aspects of the language including syntax and lexis. Notwithstanding this fact, it
may become reasonable to introduce literature in the classroom for the benefits it offers
to students. Such advantages may include an enhancement of vocabulary, an
understanding of syntactic and morphological rules, a comprehension of sentences
within a determined context, an awareness of customs and traditions from other
cultures and a personal attachment with the literary texts. For this reason, this project
presents a design-of-materials proposal in order to teach English through literature in
an English as a Foreign Language environment. By employing three literary works such
as The Kite Runner (2013), And the Mountains Echoed (2013) and A Thousand
Splendid Suns (2018), all written by Khaled Hosseini, this proposal includes a series of
materials based on Carter and Long’s (1991) three model approach which contribute to
promote learner’s linguistic, cultural and personal growth competences. As a result,
this exploitation of authentic literature could improve learners’ academic performance. [-]
