Currently, hegamonization and democratization introduced through literature results in indifference towards literature among students which, in its turn, gradually leads to decrease of interest towards literature.
The article offers to create such programs which will develop text-oriented approach towards literature, i.e. teachers should be free to select the material which will boost the language skills of the students and will enrich their imagination.
Only by this approach can we be able to understand and appreciate the use of literature in the spheres of education and social activity.
