Technology Enhanced English Language Learning Using Literary Texts

Abstract

The paper tries to observe and emphasize the use of English literature to learn the language by using technology and digital tools. This helps in teaching as well as in learning. Students can focus on learning language skills (Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing) and areas of language and grammar. Appropriate literary texts contain language in its purest form and activities supported by technology can help students to learn the language. Digital learning and teaching are an inevitable part of education these days. Learners can get access and expertise in language through online activities prepared with the help of different texts of different genres. The paper contains possible language learning activities using literature as a base with applying various digital learning approaches and tools. It also contains issues teachers face while using technology for teaching purposes. For the class of non-native learners, using literature to teach language can be challenging for teachers, and for that appropriate texts must be chosen by teachers. This paper has taken into account the above-given challenges and arguments.
