Literary Texts In Secondary Education: Teaching For Literary Creativity And Establishing Linguistic Proficiency — The Algerian School As A Model

Abstract

This study aims to examine the primary purpose of integrating literary texts into the educational system and to uncover the hidden educational goals these texts carry, which predominantly rely on two elements: taste and language. Since language has always been and remains the focus of interest for specialists striving to teach it through the most straightforward methods, we have attempted to concentrate on researching how to refine taste and practice the use of language among secondary school students in the Algerian educational system. Secondary students, like those in other educational stages, face difficulties when trying to comprehend the programmed literary texts. Therefore, considering language within literary production can enhance its aesthetic appeal, facilitating students' understanding and comprehension of what the teacher intends to convey. One of the central questions of this study is: What methods can be followed to achieve linguistic proficiency and a refined taste in students?
