The pedagogical ways of tackling stereotypes in literary texts

Abstract EN

The current research aims at highlighting the place of cultural stereotypes in teaching colonial literature.

Although culture teaching is considered as a necessity in teaching literary courses, it is not yet dealt with in a way that enables learners to be intercultural negotiators.

To examine teachers' pedagogical ways of dealing with stereotypes in teaching literary courses, the study is based on using grid observation as a method of data collection.

In observing teachers ‘activities, questions and students' initial reactions, we come to the result that stereotypes have been ignored in foreign language classrooms.

Consequently, this will hinder students intercultural understanding.
