Literature has a vital role in the teaching-learning process and the formation of children's personal development because the reader develops an emotional attachment to the literary piece, which has favorable effects on personal growth and the learning process.

B. the impact of literature on nation-building
Literature has a good prospect as a tool for nation-building or as a means of political ideology and self-determination; The history of any nation's Literature is intertwined with the nation's history; One of the reasons is that the issue of standard language arises during the process of forming a government, and Literature plays a crucial part in the establishment of both the national state and the common language. Literature reflects the life of the people and their race or a country at a specific period in time. Literature is most commonly applied in art and is employed to convey a tale, illustrate an era, or teach a literature lesson. In this instance, Literature either transcends or is engulfed by history. In addition, Literature is a weapon in waging a political struggle for freedom. It is a powerful medium for increasing social order and nation-building through works of social critics. National Literature evolves as a social institution from the daily activities of individuals who live in a particular location. Based on this evidence, social institutions and individual psychology are aspects ready to be portrayed through literary forms and contents. This power permits Literature to play a significant, and in some circumstances, decisive, part in creating a nation. It is well recognized that every country confronts a fight, usually a war, throughout its journey to independence; it must cope with the social institutions to begin developing its cultural identity. As a result, national Literature's emergence becomes critical to meeting the community's desires. When we place our country's experiences in a historical context, we can see that developing appropriate forms to represent the contents connected to its nature, urbanity, religiosity, individual and social psychologies, and other manifestations took some time. As recorded in Literature, the most significant milestones in Philippine history have contributed to the country we know today. C. the relationship of literary appreciation and the English language. Literature is an essential part of the curriculum in many schools worldwide because it allows students to construct meaningful surroundings full of descriptive language interpretation, engaging characters, and literary appreciation. It helps students develop their imagination, cultural awareness, and critical thinking skills as they consider narratives, themes, characters, and the context of a literary work. As a result, incorporating Literature into the English language entails a broad spectrum of word acquisition, dialogue, prose, and literary appreciation. Students can learn reading, writing, speaking, listening, and viewing skills in the K-12 Curriculum Guide in Teaching English as a Language through the use of Literature. Teaching English as a language through Literature helps students acquire sensitivity, self- awareness, appreciation, literary interpretation, analysis, and a broader understanding of the world and other people.
