The Importance of Literary Text in the Development of Communication Skills in Primary School Students

Summary/Abstract: Authentic literary text becomes an important unit in the learning of Romanian literature in the primary classes, through it, the instructive-educational goals are achieved. However, before using it in the teaching-learning process of Romanian literature we must consider certain criteria for selecting texts. Textual linguistic complexity: a complex syntax consumes some of the attention that it could be devoted to the content (for example, too long, multi-sentence phrases subordinate, with numerous negations). On the other hand, oversimplification of genuine texts could, in fact, lead to an increase in the difficulty of assimilating the literary contents (due to lack of textual clues). Type of text: the fact that the reference domain of the text is close to the student which has the necessary socio-cultural knowledge , it will help him to anticipate the content and structure of the text ; perhaps the nature of the text will also play a certain role in understanding (for example: a literary description, a concrete story) will be more easily understood and assimilated than an abstract argument or explanation. Structure of the text: coherence and a clarified planning of the text (for example: presentation and highlighting the important stages, before exemplifying them) presentation more explicit than implicit, absence of conflicting information, and unexpectedly, all this contributes to reducing the complexity of textual information transformation operations. Length of text: as a rule, a short text is simpler in assimilation than a long one, which, in fact, deals with the same subject because the latter requires several operations to modify the information, the memorization process is more in demand, and the risk of fatigue or the evasion of attention is much greater. Sometimes, however, a long, not too consistent literary text contains the same literary information
