“…Поскольку литература -это окно в жизнь других людей, она дает читателям возможность осознать существование проблем за рамками их жизни [5], поддерживает их личностный рост и процесс взросления [1], помогая им осмыслить человеческую реальность и повышая их межкультурную осведомленность и социальную сплоченность. В результате растет уровень эмпатии по отношению к другим людям.…”

В статье обосновывается необходимость включения литературы коренных народов и иммигрантов в преподавание английского языка как иностранного (АКИ) во всем мире с акцентом на педагогические вузы и колледжи. Задача заключается в подготовке компетентных преподавателей английского языка с лингвистической, межкультурной и моральной точки зрения: расширение их знаний о социальной несправедливости повысит их роль как преподавателей языка до проводников новых идей. Среди предлагаемых тем – культурный дисбаланс, конфликты, предрассудки и дискриминация. Кроме того, преподаватели узнают о процессах адаптации писателей и их сообществ в англоязычных странах, обсудят понятия «колониализм», «постколониализм», «империализм» и «коммунизм», проанализируюти связи между ними, мотивами писателей и сюжетами избранных произведений. В статье приведены примеры рекомендованных рассказов и фильмов о реалиях в англоязычных странах, которые призваны помочь подготовить не только лингвистически грамотных и компетентных преподавателей АКИ, но высоконравственных людей, которые, осознавая социальную, экономическую, политическую и культурную несправедливость, смогут стать проводниками перемен. The paper addresses the need of including literature of Indigenous people and immigrants in teaching English as a Foreign Language (EFL) worldwide, mainly in teacher training colleges. The aim is to qualify competent English teachers linguistically, cross-culturally, and morally who will be aware of social injustices, which would extend their roles as language teachers to become agents for change. They will be acquainted with cultural mismatches, conflicts, prejudices and discrimination. In addition, they willlearn about the processes of adjustment of these writers and their communities in English speaking countries. Concepts such as colonialism, post colonialism, imperialism and communism will be discussed to show the link between them and the motives of the writers and the content of the reading selections. The presentation will include some samples of stories and recommended movies that expose learners to the reality in English speaking countries, which aim to qualify not only linguistically competent and proficient EFL teachers, but also morally who are conscious to social, economic, political and cultural injustices, who will be able to be agents for change.

“…In general, literature is a window into the lives of others and gives readers the opportunity to realize the existence of issues outside their lives (Landt, 2007;McGinnis, 2006). Learning about life through literature supports the personal growth and maturation process of readers (Aerila, Soininen, & Merisuo-Storm, 2016 (Honigefled, Giouroukakis, & Garfinkel, 2011) and to develop their empathy to others.…”
