Summary/Abstract: It is well known that the analysis of technical or literary text is suitable for the development of language skills but it is different from one expert to the other. The interpretation of literary texts provides possibilities for developing interest in literature, different perceptions of the world and lifestyle in general. Literary involvement, description of subjective experiences and their participation in text analysis will lead up to intellectual competencies, as crucial qualification that provides students with insights into limitations of their perspective and its reflections, while at the same time providing an opportunity for finding alternative behavior and tolerance for foreign and different. In foreign language teaching, literary or technical text analysis is significantly depreciated. It is important to stress that this analysis provides series of opportunities to gain linguistic, culturological and literary knowledge and to develop different types of competence. Analysis of literary and technical texts provides learners with the opportunity to master the language at the level above average. Besides this set goal, the development of critical thinking as an independent activity helps the development of personality as well. Furthermore, this analysis of literary and technical texts is used to explain activities related to „how the text was written and composed“. In other words, it is used to research the contents, grammatical features and language forms present in literary or technical text.
