Resumen
The purpose of this research is to seek the development of the high school students’
intercultural and communicative competence from public school, through the literary
text, specifically four unabridged detective stories by Conan Doyle. We have come from
the point that the literary text can bring out many benefits to the teaching and learning
process of English, such as, cultural and linguistic enrichment, personal involvement,
development of the students’ interpretive abilities (KRAMSCH, 2015; CORBETT, 2010;
COLLIE; SLATER, 1987; LAZAR, 2005; DUFF; MALLEY, 2003). Our work has
characteristics of a qualitative research as well as a document study, because we have
presented one questionnaire with open questions for the participants, high school students
from IFRN-Campus Natal Zona Norte, in order to investigate how they understand the
relationship between language and culture and if it is possible to improve their knowledge
of English by the reading of four detective stories. The result of our research showed that
the interviewed students still have a structuralist view, because they believe the study of
a foreign language is restricted to lexis acquisition. Hence, we proposed eight intercultural
activities to be used in the English classrooms on the aspects of language and culture,
presented in the selected detective stories, aiming to corroborate the benefits of the
literary text in the English learning process.
