The didactics of the modern literary text – approaches and strategies for contemporary education. R. Moldova

Abstract

The study focuses on didactics of modern literary texts – from the classic text to contemporary digital narratives that play an important role in modern education. In the Republic of Moldova, as in many countries, teachers are re-evaluating the didactics of literature: the methods and strategies used to teach literature in ways that are relevant to today’s learners. This article examines how literature education is or can be viewed and used in modern teaching context from our country, drawing on global theoretical perspectives and local educational trends. We discuss the role of literature in education within English lessons from the views of well-known scholars (Terry Eagleton, Northrop Frye, Louise Rosenblatt), explore the cognitive, cultural, and emotional benefits of engaging with modern literary texts in the multilingual context, and highlight didactic strategies – including task design, motivational techniques, and interactive learning. We also consider the use of digital literature and authentic literary materials in foreign language teaching, and situate Moldova’s practices within broader European and global contexts.
