Abstract

This paper seeks to summarize the experience of carrying out the NSTU initiative project in Russia aimed at integrating electronic literature into the educational process in higher education. The project involved multipurpose research which included different curriculum subjects (English as a second language, literature and pedagogy). Its educational goal was to present a digital narrative to different categories of Russian students. Firstly, to Russian students who study literature in order to train their skills in literary text analysis. Secondly, the Inanimate Alice episodes were presented to those who study English as a second language in order to train their traditional language skills (reading and listening comprehension, speaking and writing) in English through a digitally created reading experience. The research goal was to analyze both types of experiences and present a strategy for digital literary text integration in the educational process in Russia.
