The use of literature as a technique for teaching both basic language skills (i.e reading, writing, listening and speaking) and language areas (i.e. vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation)

in a classroom context, learners are exposed to actual language samples of real life /
real life like settings.

For many language learners, the ideal way to increase their understanding of verbal / nonverbal aspects of communication in the country within which that language is spoken - a visit or an extended stay - is just not probable.

Literature provides learners with a wide range of individual lexical or syntactic items.

.Once the student reads a literary text, he begins to inhabit
the text. He is drawn into the text. Understanding the meanings of lexical items or phrasesbecomes less significant than pursuing the development of the story.

In reading lesson, discussion begins at the literal level with
direct questions of fact regarding setting, characters, and plot which can be answered by
specific reference to the text.

. Literature as a model occurs when student writing becomes closely similar to the original work or clearly imitates its content, theme, organization, and /or style.

Language teachers can make listening comprehension and pronunciation interesting, motivating and contextualized at the upper levels, playing a recording or video of a literary
work, or reading literature aloud themselves.

Though drama in the classroom can assume many forms, there are three main
types, which are dramatization, role-playing, improvization.

When teaching English through literature, some of the group activities used in language classroom are general class discussion, small-group work, paneldiscussions, and debates.
