The article examines various techniques of work with fiction texts in the process of learning a foreign language, which is relevant in the context of the development of modern education focused on interdisciplinarity and innovativeness. In today's world it is especially important for teachers not only to get students acquainted with language structures, but also to immerse them into active participation in the educational process, which contributes to the development of their communication skills and critical thinking. The use of literary texts allows students to gain insight into the culture, historical contexts, and complexity of the English language. However, the work with fiction texts is usually limited to typical methods – reading and listening comprehension, translation etc. The methods we offer allow to diversify classes, as well as take into consideration the current level of digital technologies (including the use of artificial intelligence). The purpose of our research is to consider interactive techniques of work with fiction texts in learning English.
The proposed methods allow diverse activities with both original and adapted fiction. The authors divide the methods into two groups. The first group involves the proximate work with fiction (gallery of quotes, interview with a character, letter to the author, writing fan fiction). The second group appeals to the text as a work of art, and here the activities are based on the use of the possibilities of other arts ‒ painting, music, etc. (book illustrations and soundtracks, virtual tours, creation of memes).
Interactive methods allow not only to improve the understanding of the text, gain profound knowledge, but also to increase the motivation of students to learn English. Each of them is aimed at enhancing students' cognitive activity, developing their creative abilities, critical and analytical thinking, and also contributes to the formation of practical language skills. Students are more actively involved in the learning process, which positively affects their motivation and interest in learning English.
