Abstract

When it comes to introducing literary texts in teaching German as a foreign language, the works of contemporary literature are being favoured over canonical texts for their current themes, style and modern language. However, the study of classical literature contributes to the acquisition of cultural and historical knowledge, the development of aesthetic competence and to personal growth, as these pieces of literature possess a high aesthetic quality, deal with subjects of universal importance and portray timeless truths. This paper presents the findings of a research study conducted among second-year-students of the Svetozar Marković grammar school in Novi Sad, who participated in an experimental class dedicated to teaching Johann Wolfgang Goethe’s ballad The King in Thule (Der König in Thule), which involved the implementation of Neva Šlibars five-phases-model. The aim of this research is to test the possibilities of teaching canonical texts from the 18th century in German as a Foreign Language class.
