Summary/Abstract: With the transition to online classes, literature teachers faced a huge challenge, some of them being the way of reading, understanding and interpretation of literary text, developing critical thinking through literature teaching, as well as use of literary terms. Such a complex challenge could be resolved only with systematic use of digital tools which are freely available to teachers worldwide. Not all digital tools are convenient for literature classes, their use depends mainly upon expected outcome. We do have tools which are convenient for reading and understanding of text, but not the tools for the development of critical thinking and learning of literary terms and vice versa. The way of teaching itself is very important in literature classes, and with the transition to the online environment teachers were confronted 238with one more challenge - how to teach literature without it entirely turning into an individual form of work. Again, great help in this case were free digital tools which enabled group or paired work. We also shouldn't dismiss the tools which imply the use of audio and video conversation with students, they have a great role in achieving desired end results in learning. In this paper we will introduce the way of using digital tools in order to reach desired outcomes in literature classes, we will discuss the purposefulness of certain tools and offer the best solutions for online literature teaching.
