Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the perspectives of the fourth year students
from English Language Teaching Department at Uludag University as to literature
and the use of literature in language teaching. The study was conducted with 75
senior students by administering a questionnaire prepared considering the use of
literature in ELT classes and a semi-structured interview to delve into the results
obtained from the quantitative part of the study. Descriptive statistics through
SPPS 20 version were used to analyze the data. As a result, it was determined that
students foster mostly positive views about the benefits of literature in language
learning besides their hesitance about some issues such as how literature can be
integrated as a language teaching material in EFL/ESL classes more effectively.
