The book provides students, trainees, and experienced teachers with an overview of the fundamentals and methods of English literature didactics. It presents in a clear, structured, and practical manner how to effectively work with literature in English classes during the second half of secondary education I and secondary education II. Teaching English literature supports you in designing a student-centered, action- and production-oriented foreign language curriculum: here you will find various methodological approaches to creative and analytical text work with the genres of drama, poetry, narrative texts, film, and radio plays. This gives you a wealth of methods to reliably plan lessons and series of lessons. Concrete tools for the analysis and interpretation of literary works enable you to apply the practical suggestions to new texts as well.
