Critical Thinking And Literature Teaching



Authors : Bensemane M’hamed .

Abstract

Literature takes a traditionally important share in the pedagogic curricula of English departments in Algeria. It is granted that this subject has much to contribute to the general learning process, as well as it is a source of knowledge in terms of history, culture and society at large. The tendency in our country is to approach texts from the angle of literary history, and to refer to established canonical criticism for study purposes. But this makes a rather static and subservient examination of an art produced by a dominant culture. It encourages imitative approaches and inhibits autonomous and personal endeavours. Indeed, our students could legitimately seek alternative directions in interpreting foreign texts
