This study examined the views of the English Literature teachers about how to teach English Literature
in Libyan higher education context. Sixteen English Literature teachers teaching in higher education were
the participants of this study. In order to collect data about the phenomena under investigation, semistructured interviews were employed. Then, the collected data were analyzed qualitatively. The findings
indicated that the teaching of English Literature still needs improvements. It was also found that basically
three different approaches were followed by the partcipant teachers: Paraphrastic Approach, Informationbased Approach and Language-based Approach. Among the preferred approaches to teach English
literature, the most commonly followed approach of teaching literature was the Paraphrastic Approach.
The findings also revealed that the participant English Literature teachers face some difficulties related
to their teaching context and themselves. Context- specific difficuties
were lack of facilities, visual aids, technology and lack of appropriate classroom environment while
teacher related difficulties were lack of self-confidence in teachers and lack of establishing rapport in
teachers with their students in class.
