This book proposes the study of literary texts as a vital component of
L2 linguistic and cultural knowledge. The research, conducted with
students of Italian in Australia, is situated in the wider L2 context,
and compared to studies on students' perceptions of English and French
literary texts in countries such as Canada, Italy, Australia, Germany
and the Ukraine. The first part of the book takes the debate on the
inclusion of literature in language education as a springboard for
posing crucial questions about how students, and educators, view
literature. The theoretical framework draws from educational,
linguistic, philosophical and literary theories, and focuses on the
role of awareness in learning and the role of the learner's
experience. The second part of the book evaluates an innovative
approach to teaching and learning L2 literature, and discusses the
application of this to the language classroom. Containing a balance of
theoretical and practical concerns, this book will be invaluable
reading for researchers of applied linguistics and second language
acquisition.
