The Competence Approach and Its Literary Educational Projections in the First High School Stage

In line with the current educational theses, this publication recognizes the role of competency approach in the contemporary literary education, focusing on the literary educational discourse in the first high school stage (grades 8-10). The development illustrates the functionalization of the competence approach in the teaching of literature in Bulgarian school, as well as its relation to the specific literary-educational approaches - thematic and intertextual. The research represents ideas for studying works included in the literature curricula (for the respective classes), combining scientific theses and literary-educational pragmatics, focusing on the development of the thematic chain "native and foreign" and the generated intertextual allusions.
