The article presents one of the possible methods of incorporating literary prose into teaching the Slovene language. It proposes a general framework for preparing lecture plans at the advanced and proficiency levels. Work with texts is divided into three parts. The first emphasises students' experiences and interests, the second focuses on the fictional world as an autonomous whole, and the third is dedicated to text analysis based on a chosen culturally significant storytelling element. The article starts from two classic theoretical turning points: communication theory as used in learning foreign languages, and reception theory. The article uses Ingarden's thesis of the schematic and undefined nature of a literary work. The major goal of the proposed didactic framework is not to develop linguistic knowledge, but to prepare the students for a dialogue with the text. For this reason, the work focuses on the perspective of culture and self-development.
