AB Literature is one of the many useful tools that learners of a foreign language, English, in this case, have had at their disposal throughout history. Its position as a teaching tool of EFL is not firmly established, especially in the Spanish education system. This dissertation aims to showcase the benefits of using literature with teenagers, not only as a means to teach the language, but also as a way to teach values of acceptance, respect and diversity. Working with literary texts entails being able to introduce a great variety of activities and topics that can motivate students in the process of learning a new language and to mature as young citizens. Through the selection of a popular Young Adult comic book, Heartstopper, the present proposal aims to promote critical thinking, to teach students that there is beauty and richness in difference, and to firmly proclaim that everyone’s gender and/or sexual orientation is valid and accepted in our society.
