TEACHING LANGUAGE THROUGH LITERATURE

Dr. S. Hemalatha

Abstract :

             It is necessary to understand the importance of teaching English language through literature in order to make language learning an enriching experience for students. Literature is the mirror of society.  Literature gives permanent happiness to anyone who reads with diligence and passion. Literature starts in delight but ends in wisdom.  In other words, literature not only instructs but also delights.  Literature helps the learners appreciate diverse cultures apart from their own cultures.  Certain emotions like anger, greed, love, jealousy etc are universal.  Once the learners have absolute control over their emotions, it will help them in their professional lives also.  In short, one can say that literature serves a dual purpose.  It informs and delights at the same time. This paper tries to find out whether learning English Language is feasible through the use of Literature.
