Sumario:The use of literary texts in the English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classroom is exceptionally beneficial for students because it enhances their proficiency in the foreign language. However, that is not the only advantage that literature brings to pupils, as it also motivates them, increases their interest in the foreign language and gives them the opportunity to grow at a personal level. This Master’s dissertation presents a didactic proposal for the fourth year of Educación Secundaria Obligatoria based on ND Stevenson’s graphic novel Nimona. The proposal aims at improving the students’ mastery of the English language, as well as at giving visibility to the LGBTQ+ community and defying gender stereotypes.
