| Sumario: | Literature is a didactic tool that has been neglected in recent years by other types of teaching materials. Therefore, this paper aims to show the benefits the use of literature in the EFL classroom can have. For this purpose, contemporary literature has been selected in order to increase motivation and encourage reading habits among students. Accordingly, a didactic proposal has been designed to be developed in a complete school year based on Ready Player One (2011), a book of young adult and dystopian fiction. With the development of several activities based on its reading, it is intended that students improve their proficiency in the foreign language while reflecting and interacting with the text itself as it deals with issues that may affect students directly in their daily life. |
