title = "Literary awareness in a high-school EFL learning environment: An empirical evaluation",
abstract = "This chapter discusses the teaching of literary awareness to high-school students of English as a foreign language (EFL). Dedicated to the topic of iconicity, the proposed pedagogical experience stimulates students to work out the connection between visual and linguistic representations, identify such links in a variety of texts, create their own concrete poems, and justify their stylistic choices. Three sources of data are used: (i) questionnaires detailing participants{\textquoteright} profiles, (ii) students{\textquoteright} answers and creative writing, and (iii) unit evaluation questionnaires. The data obtained enabled an evidence-based evaluation of the workshop from the participants{\textquoteright} viewpoint. We argue that evaluating students{\textquoteright} learning empirically should be part and parcel of any pedagogical experience.",
