Abstract

This study presents a review of modern approaches to teaching contemporary Ukrainian young adult literature in the gymnasium. It outlines scientific approaches to perceiving and interpreting contemporary Ukrainian literature by adolescents. The main focus is on the interpretive strategies to employ for reading literary texts in the gymnasium. The effect of their combination (synergy) on studying literary works of contemporary Ukrainian young adult fiction is thoroughly explored. By showing that synergy of approaches facilitates teenagers’ perception and comprehension of literary works, this research proves its efficiency for school literary education. Another aspect explored is the methodology aimed at expanding individual interpretations with aesthetic components, developing young readers’ ability to use literary terms, improving their reading skills, building reading culture, and encouraging good reading habits. The emphasis is made on the orientation of literary education in the gymnasium towards the competency-based approach. This study offers a methodological system to motivate teenagers to read into adulthood. It is expected that its implementation into instructional practices in teaching literature and language will create lifelong readers. In the end, an outline is given on the prospects of developing the methodology of teaching contemporary Ukrainian children’s and young adult literature in school.
