This research article explores the integration of both oral communication skills and core language competencies—reading, listening, and speaking—alongside vocabulary development, grammatical structures, and pronunciation. Given that English serves as the medium of instruction for all subjects, it is crucial to highlight the significance of using English texts as a foreign language resource and the key factors in selecting appropriate literary materials. Furthermore, incorporating various literary genres— such as poetry, short stories, drama, and novels—offers distinct advantages in language acquisition. However, English language instructors also encounter challenges, including limited preparatory resources in TESL and TEFL programs, a lack of clearly defined objectives regarding the role of English literature in ESL and EFL contexts, and insufficient specialized training or background knowledge among English language educators.
