LITERATURE in ENGLISH LANGUAGE EDUCATION

FLED 324, Spring 2024


Assist. Prof. Dilek İNAL

This course aims to display the relationship between the study of English language and
literatures in English, resting on the argument that literary discourse is an excellent resource
for linguistic studies and that it creates a valuable network for exploring forms, structures and
concepts in English language education. To this end, the course will cover the discussion of
topics that will demonstrate this integration of language teaching and literature with
illustrative examples taken from a variety of genres. Following the discussion of concepts
such as “literary language” and “literary competence,” the course will advance with the in-
depth studies of literary texts of and outside the cannon and their utilization for the purpose of
language teaching. The course will also introduce stylistics as a means of text analysis.
