Abstract

Literary reading can better develop empathy towards the Other, an inclusive sympathy and critical intercultural awareness, features that belong to the most models of intercultural competence. Yet literature is absent from these models which also pay little attention to foreign language learning. This article discusses the important role of literature either for intercultural communication either for global citizenship education, that play an important role for the peace in the world. With suitable pedagogical approaches, literature in language learning can better contribute for the formation of the intercultural speaker and develop critical awareness, the capacity to reason well and handle delicate situations carefully without fear and judgment.
