The machine analysis of user-generated reviews revealed a high rate of function words, pronouns, and auxiliary verbs, which may suggest reviewers’ social orientation. This high rate of function words and the overall positive tone of the reviews may also be interpreted as reviewers’ attempts to promote their reviews and influence others’ reading choices.

El artículo presenta una búsqueda cuyo objetivo principal era saber si los profesores de inglés como lengua extranjera (EFL) están familiarizados con la literatura para adultos jóvenes y si incluyen textos literarios en sus lecciones. Para llevar a cabo este propósito, 40 profesores de inglés que enseñan inglés como lengua extranjera en la educación secundaria en la región de Murcia (España) han completado un cuestionario en formato de escala Likert dividido en tres secciones: literatura, metodología y evaluación para jóvenes adultos. Para la fiabilidad de los resultados de este estudio y para calcular los porcentajes de cada sección del cuestionario, se utilizó el Alfa de Cronbach. Los resultados indican que el uso de literatura para adultos jóvenes puede involucrar a los estudiantes, y los maestros comienzan a incluir literatura en sus lecciones.
