Summary/Abstract: The article responds to contemporary impulses regarding the transformation of literature teaching in secondary schools, specifically the texts of Kamil Činátl and Václav Vaňek. The author critically reflects on their tendency to depart from literariness and the aesthetic function of literary works in favour of using texts instrumentally as historical or sociological sources. The author argues that the core of the field should remain the complex analysis of the literary text, which does not separate form from content (the “how” from the “what”) and aims toward understanding the work as a distinct artistic artifact. The author defends the relevance of the current Framework educational Programme (RVP G) outcomes, which, in his view, build upon the domestic structuralist tradition (notably Jan Mukařovský), and emphasizes that the goal of teaching should be the development of reading skills and critical thinking through the analysis of the functions of individual textual components.
