* Literature and Writing
- Literature can be a powerful motivating source for writing in ESL/EFL, both as a
model and as a subject matter.
- Literature as a model occurs when student writing becomes closely similar to the
original work or clearly imitates its contents, themes, organization, and/ style.
- Literature as a subject matter occur when student writing exhibits original
thinking like interpretation or analysis or creativity by reading literature.
*Objective approach
- It proposes that one must find what happen within a literary work.
- It is a reflection or recreation of the world and of life but it is not the world and
not real life
- The best literary work describing the real world where we find familiar characters
is moving in the fictional world or their own, not in the real world..
- Poet expresses his idea by presenting himself in a single mood as a lover,
mourner, etc.
- Thus, he is already fictional characters in incipient form, and he is moving about
in a fictional world which may resemble ours but is not world in which we move.
