The paper presents a communication concept of teaching with a focus on teaching Literary Education. In the article, we present in more detail a research survey involving a total of 16 humanities teachers, which examined the current state of communication between pupils and teachers: the data were obtained from an analysis of teaching videos that preceded the observation of teaching. The analysis of the video recordings was supplemented by interviews with the teachers who led the lessons and student questionnaires, which served as a tool for data triangulation. Based on the analysis of the results, the authors present a generally tuned model of good educational communication, in the center of which should be a balanced distribution of power forces (i.e. the role of the teacher and the position of students). The implementation of the communication concept in real teaching can lead to a deeper and more comprehensive interpretation of artistic narratives, it can develop the pupil´s personality and can enrich the teacher. The communication conception of teaching forms the starting point for an innovative conception of Literary Education, which builds on the thesis that text (artistic narrative) is in the center of literature teaching. It is the communication between the teacher, the pupil and the text that is the basis of creative literary expressivity, the gros of contemporary Literary Education according to the didactics of literature.
