Lectures escollides: proposta per a l'ensenyament de la llengua i literatura catalanes en els anys seixanta

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to expound, analyse and assess the proposal for the teaching of Catalan that the literary critic and pedagogue Joan Triadú and the linguist and proofreader Eduard Artells presented for the three collections of Lectures escollides published in the 1960s. Lectures escollides: Textos literaris, amb comentaris gramaticals consists of three volumes published in 1962, 1965 and 1969 by Barcino. Each of the sections studied here contains an introduction with a bibliographical description and a literary commentary together with a presentation of the text, the excerpt chosen, and numbered endnotes. Our analysis will provide data of great interest for the history of the teaching of Catalanlanguage and literature, both in terms of grammar learning methodology and the social appreciation of Catalan language and culture in the sixties.
