Anita Kurnia Rachman, Indrawati Pusparini, Ike Dian Puspitasari

Abstract


This article covers the use of literature as an inside source in language education. Several theoretical concerns related to what, why, and how literature is used in language education are briefly examined. The poetry, prose, and drama utilized in language teaching are chosen to meet the needs, interests, cultural background, and level of language skills of the pupils. Literature is employed in language training for a variety of reasons, including the following: it is a valuable authentic material, it enhances culture, it enriches language, it involves personal, universal, varied, interesting, economical, and it has suggestive force and ambiguity. Certain concepts and approaches influence how literature is employed in language education.
