USING ENGLISH LITERATURE WRITTEN BY ASIAN AUTHORS IN EFL/ESL CLASSROOMS IN ASIA

Flora Debora Floris




Abstract


This paper proposes an argument that literary texts in English which are written by Asian authors should be more extensively used as language teaching materials designed for EFL/ESL classrooms in Asian countries. The use of these texts can overcome the cultural stumbling blocks experienced by students. In addition, the texts can be utilized to promote cultural awareness and the role of English as an international language. To support this point of view, various issues in using what is often called non-native English literature are examined in the essay.


Keywords


non-native English literature, Asian literature, literary text, teaching resource, English language learning.
