To explain major theoretical and pedagogical rationales for using literature in language teaching and relate them to current perspectives in ELT; critically evaluate literary texts and literature-based materials in terms of linguistic, cultural, affective, and pedagogical suitability for particular learners and contexts; compare and apply language-based, reader-response, stylistic, personal-growth, intercultural, and critical-literacy approaches; design language-learning tasks around different literary genres; develop and justify research-informed lesson plans and materials adaptable to learner proficiency, diversity, and contextual constraints; and critically synthesize research and reflect on the effectiveness, assessment, and ethical/cultural implications of literature-based classroom practice.

Course Content
|
This graduate-level course examines the pedagogical use of literary texts in English language teaching. It explores theoretical and research-based rationales for integrating literature into language education and critically examines approaches such as language-based teaching, reader-response, stylistics, personal-growth, intercultural, and critical-literacy perspectives. Students analyze the affordances and challenges of using poetry, short fiction, drama, novels, and multimodal/digital literary texts with diverse learners. Particular attention is given to text selection, task and materials design, language-skill development, cultural and intercultural learning, classroom interaction, assessment, and adaptation for different proficiency levels and teaching contexts. Through critical reading, seminar discussion, materials analysis, and the design of a literature-based teaching project, students connect scholarship with pedagogical decision-making in ELT.
