EditorialGood practices in Literary Education

Resum

This issue of the Journal of Literary Education is dedicated to Good Practices, i.e. case studies,methods, teaching practices and activities that have proven to be successful and useful forthe teaching of literature and literary education in general. However, Good Practices areinextricably linked to the theory, theoretical developments and paradigm shifts that haveshaped literary education as an academic subject. Thus, good practices reflect a shift inphilosophy and teaching methodology in the teaching of literature, moving the teaching ofliterature away from the strict text-centered model. Literature teaching is now understood asa field of self-active learning and creation, experiential literary experience, active reading andmaking sense of the world of texts. The cultivation of literacy, aesthetic enjoyment, theeffortless interaction of the student-reader with the text, multiple activations and studentexpressions are just some of the main axes of the good practices presented in thecontributions of this special issue.
