| Sumario: | The following dissertation explores a proposal for incorporating graphic novels into the English Foreing Language (EFL) to foster reading habits and increase young adults’ motivation for literary engagement. Recent findings from the Barómetro de hábitos de lectura y compra de libros en España (Ministerio de Cultura, 2023) show that individuals aged 14 to 24 are the country’s most regular readers (75.3%). Moreover, they are highly familiar with hybrid formats that combine text and image. In light of this, the study introduces a didactic proposal based on the graphic novel adaptation of The Hobbit (J.R.R. Tolkien, 1937), The Hobbit: A Graphic Novel (Dixon & Wenzel, 1989), structured as a sequence of activities throughout any trimester of the year and culminating in a final project. The expected outcome is that integrating graphic novels will enhance students’ motivation, engagement with literature, and linguistic competence in the EFL classroom. |
