Abstract

Nowadays there is a debate between scholars on the topic of the importance of using the literature in teaching the foreign languages in ESL classes. In that way it is acceptable to raise the questions why? who? what? Some language educators prefer to use literary materials not only for improving the students fundamental language skills (reading, writing, listening and speaking) but also language areas(grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation).The teaching and learning process can be smoothen if the teacher can apply the literary competences properly in his classes as they are very important for students to be able to delve deeply into the literary meaning. However, although different genres of literature like poetry, short fiction, drama and novel are beneficial in teaching learning process, sometimes teachers have to deal with some problematic situations to lead the literature lesson in the ESL classes (absence of preceding literature awareness, scantiness of student’s recognition of the significance of studying literature, contrasting tastes of topics of learning). Below we will discuss the role of competences to promote the student’s understanding in literary works as they allow the readers to acquire a knowledge of dissimilar opinions and appreciate the differences in the real society.
