Journal Title: International Journal of English and Literature (IJEL) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
The aims of this article, as a part of a process of doctoral research, are concrete. It is to provide an intercultural option of literature from the main critical-interpretative perspectives that a reader who has just begun serious studies of language in literature can be used to share two cultural visions of each language. It comes to see literature as a subfield of sociology and a cultural component of language that plays an important role in building intercultural awareness in a student that acquires EFL. Because literature reflects the cultural characteristics of a given community and even more if it belongs to reality or it is an imaginary community as Macando is. We believe that through a program of comparative literature as the Regional Caribbean literature and the North American literature; the students through this methodology will achieve to develop a better intercultural critical acumen of literary works, it will be trained for a better appreciation of the richness of two cultures and They will experience a sense of joy each time to be made do what, as characterizes a truly educated person, read literature especially in two cultures
