Abstract: This article aims to present reflections stemming from a research study that sought to integrate literature into a telecollaborative context of language teaching and learning. The objective was to observe how the reading and sharing of literary texts can contribute to the process of teaching and learning Spanish, as well as to the initial training of Spanish language and literature teachers. Methodologically, the investigation is grounded in qualitative research, analyzed as a case study. The data come from the transcription of a telecollaborative interaction session between a student from a Brazilian university and a student from a Mexican university, along with a questionnaire conducted via Google Forms, based on a teletandem experience integrated into a Spanish Language course within an undergraduate Language and Literature program. The analysis is based on the concept of literary education as defined by Leahy-Dios (2004). The results indicate that the circulation of literary texts in telecollaborative interactions can significantly contribute to the initial training of language and literature teachers, as the reading and discussion of texts in real language-use situations foster the development of linguistic and intercultural competence, as well as an awareness of the aesthetic work with words.
