The following examples of FLLITE lessons are linked to chapters in Joanna Luks’ open textbook, Le Littéraire dans le quotidien, Chantelle Warner’s work in German, including a module on “The Literary in the Digital Everyday” and Carl Blyth’s work on social reading of literary L2 texts. While these texts and lessons are in different languages, much of the instructional language is in English. These examples are meant to inspire other educators to develop and share their own materials.
