ACTIVE LEARNING TECHNIQUES IN LITERATURE CLASSES
ACTIVE LEARNING TECHNIQUES IN LITERATURE CLASSES

Summary/Abstract: Active learning supports any instructional process, no matter the taught subjects. As known, at academic level, literature classes tend to be more traditional than other ones, ignoring the advantages of a cooperative and interactive teaching style characteristic of active learning. The purpose of the paper is not to plead for the replacement of the traditional lecture, but to make teachers aware of the benefits of active learning in order to at least reflect on applying this kind of teaching strategies to their classes. We consider that a combination between classical lectures and active techniques will increase students’ motivation and involvement in the learning process.
