2.1 Literature in Language Teaching and Learning The importance of using literature in teaching and learning English has been
mentioned by some linguists. Maley 1989 gives seven reasons for using literature as a potent resource in the language classrooms. In his opinion,
Literature has universality, non-triviality, personal relevance, variety, interest, economy and suggestive power and ambiguity. Furthermore, Collie and Slater
1990 mention four reasons for using literature as a resource for language teaching. Literature is ‘an authentic material.’ Each literary work is a world in
itself, self-contained. The language of literature is highly contextualized, imbedded in the situations and the imaginative world that it seeks to recreate.
Literature promotes cultural enrichment, language enrichment, and also personal involvement. Because of those reasons, that is why literature is a part of teaching
materials.
