Abstract

This experience report intends to discuss how literary texts can be useful for additional languages ​​learning based on the studies of the pedagogy of multiliteracies proposed by The New London Group (1996). First, theoretical studies that investigate how literary texts have already been used in language classes are mentioned, to then propose a new theoretical foundation, anchored in the studies of Kalantzis and Cope (2012), Kalantzis, Cope and Pinheiro (2020) and Kress (2010). Next, two multimodal textual productions by students from a federal technical high school are presented. Our analysis revealed that literary texts are designs of ample opportunities for learning both the language in use and education for social critical citizen action.

Keywords: literary texts, language learning, multiliteracies
