LINGUISTIC CREATIVITY AND PEDAGOGICAL APPLICATION OF ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND IN EFL EDUCATION

Аннотация

This study explores the linguistic creativity found in Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and its pedagogical application in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education. The novel’s playful language, inventive wordplay, and unconventional logic provide rich material for linguistic analysis, especially in semantics and pragmatics. Through qualitative analysis, this paper examines how these features can engage learners and foster deeper understanding of language use. Additionally, the study discusses practical ways to incorporate Carroll’s text into EFL classrooms to enhance students’ vocabulary, critical thinking, and communicative skills. The findings highlight the potential of literary works to enrich language teaching and learning.
