Effective Study of English Literature through the Well-Equipped learners: An Experiment
Keywords:
English literature, Linguistic proficiency, Examination, Learners, Aesthetic pleasureAbstract
Teaching English literature to the Indian learners of different cultural backgrounds is like planting an alien plant on Indian soil. The international demand for the discipline has made it an indispensable part of learning in most of the colleges in the country today. Developing linguistic proficiency to find a secure job is the main objective of the learners. The committed faculty know well that the learners are examination-oriented. As a result, they are denied the aesthetic pleasure of teaching English literature. Readily available material keeps the learners away from the original texts. This paper intends to share successful experiments that equip the learners adequately.
