This paper presents both a disciplinary and a methodological proposal for a university course at a school of Humanities where the development of linguistic skills has to be integrated with the study of English literary texts. First, I outline the characteristics of the learning context, including a profile of its students. Second, I present an approach to what “language and literature” as a discipline means on the basis of this context and of existing approaches for the above-mentioned integration. Finally, I suggest a methodological approach which includes a didactic sequence for the classroom.
