Literature in the ESL Classroom.
McKay, Sandra
TESOL Quarterly, v16 n4 p529-36 Dec 1982
The pros and cons of using literature in an ESL classroom are examined. It is argued that if literary texts are used, they must be carefully selected and approached in a manner promoting an aesthetic interaction between reader and text. An example of this technique is given. (Author/MSE)
