    1. What are your struggles as a literature teacher/What are the challenges/difficulties


    you encounter in the classroom? (at least three paragraphs)
    The teaching and learning of literature is supposed to be the most interesting part of

    English as a subject. It is full of life lessons anyone can emulate. It has full of wide-range

    characters one can relate. Readers may find themselves similar with the characters in the story.

    From content to context, literature is relevant and timeless.

    But why are teachers struggling to teach literature? From my personal experience, despite

    being a neophyte in the field, I saw two reasons, students’ low level of English proficiency and

    low motivation.

    According to Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) Result 2019,

    Philippines is in the bottom rank in terms reading placing 340th. Poor reading skills and

    comprehension means poor literary appreciation. How can learners see the essence of what they

    are reading if, in the first place, they do not understand it? That is the first challenge of every

    literature teacher must surmount.

    Assuming that learners can read and are able to comprehend what they are reading, there

    is another mountain a literature teacher has yet to conquer. How can he/she motivate the students

    to read? How can the teacher engage the students to interact with they are reading? It is very

    important for teachers to let the learners see the significance of what they are reading. To arouse

    the students’ interest, it should be clear to them why they are reading a certain piece, what they

    can gain from it and the relevance of what they are reading.
    ONSANA, RJ T. DR. INES INOCENCIO

    Given those reasons, teachers must continue to find ways to help students see the

    importance of literature in their life for in that way, learners will have an intrinsic motivation to

    read and enjoy literature.
