ELS 115- Language of Literary Texts

Language helps language majors to develop textual analysis skills of various

literary works. Language in literature helps to expose language majors to samples
of real-life settings in various literary works. Language increases cultural
enrichment for students. Using literary texts in the language classroom can make
the students more aware of the language they are learning, help them develop
skills and strategies they can apply in many different situations and contexts,
increase their interest and motivation, and make the learning of the language
more enjoyable. Literature has the ability to be a source of learner inspiration for
language majors. Literary texts provide a rich source of linguistic input for
learners, allowing them to practice the four language skills of speaking, listening,
reading, and writing while also demonstrating grammatical structures and
introducing new vocabulary. This course broadens my knowledge and
comprehension of the fundamental relationship between language and literature
as a language major.
