Abstract

This paper aims at discussing the concept of literary literacy (Zappone 2007) and the teaching of literatures in English in Brazil. Starting from the concern of the literary literacy with the social contexts in which such texts are produced, circulate and are received, the implications of such approach for the teaching of foreign languages in institutionalized environments are discussed. Consequently, teacher education is also taken into account here. Following the discussion, the process of testing the students at schools, and its implications for the contexts of literary literacy is reviewed.
