The Course Structure, Learning Materials and Tools for Reading Classical Texts and Authors in Contemporary World

Abstract

Reading classical texts and authors, whose language is not fully understandable by the children, has become a big teacher’s challenge. The decline of literary reading and the lack of focus in the subject and idea of the text, interrelated to the early culture / identity, influences the lack of reading of the classical books and authors. Therefore, they do not fulfil the principal aims and competencies required by the Pre-University Curriculum Framework. Our article analyses the Curriculum Framework and language and literature course structure. The article concludes that students tend to read classical works more easily if they are offered in abridged versions or with a support of technology. Collections of works and complementary book contents with digital content is the tendency that schools have to accept in the digital era we are living.
