초록
This paper aims to explore how to teach English literature at university for improving English proficiency. It is often said that teaching English literature does not have a vital influence on improving English skills. It is mainly because professors of English in Korea concentrate on analysing literary works in terms of literary theory and translating English text into Korean. According to recent research, literature is suitable for student-centered education. It is also suitable for a whole language approach by which four language skills can be developed at the same time. Given that the affective side of language learning contributes in a significant way to improving learner's language learning, I would like to propose the need for a humanistic approach based on affective side of learner in this paper. This paper shows that teaching literature based on affective side of learner is characterized by cooperative and interactional activities in their relation to such factors as self-esteem, autonomy, and motivation. This paper suggests the importance of not only cognitive approach but also affective approach through teaching English literature efficiently. Finally, in view of the use of short stories as language material the success of English education through teaching literature text depends on selecting literary text and effective teaching method. It is important to select a suitable text for increasing a learner's spontaneous pleasure in reading. Literary works written by major authors but not difficult for language learners are also recommended.
