Using Literary Texts to Teach Grammar in Foreign Language Classroom

Year 2017, Volume: 4 Issue: 2, 127 - 133, 01.12.2017

Abstract

Today, it is discussed that the use of
literary texts in foreign language classroom as a course material isn’t obligatory;
but necessary due to the close relationship between language and literature.
Although literary texts are accepted as authentic documents and do not have any
purpose for language teaching, they are indispensable sources to be used for
development of basic language skills. Here the purpose is not just to
contribute to teaching basic language skills, but also to contribute to
teaching the culture of foreign language and to provide different perspectives
to students while teaching. It is also thanks to linguistic and grammatical
structures of literary texts that they can be used as an effective course
material to teach the grammar of target language in the foreign language
classroom.



This study is a theoretical knowledge
based on a research and it analyzes the use of literary text to teach grammar
in foreign language classroom. The study consists of four parts: in the
introduction part, it is discussed briefly the foreign language teaching, the
place of grammar in foreign language teaching and the use of literary texts in
grammar teaching. The second part discusses that it is necessary to use
literary texts in foreign language teaching. In the third part, benefits that
can be provided to grammar teaching with the use of literary texts are
discussed. Finally, in the conclusion part, the points to take into account
while using literary texts in foreign language classrooms are discussed and the
suggestions are put forward.
