A Dialogue on Stigma: Psychological and Educational Perspectives
The department of English Language at Cihan University – Sulaimaniyah held a national workshop in cooperation with Sulaimaniyah-Polytechnic-University’s lecturer, Mr. Ali Baram Mohammed. Mr. Ali discussed the advantages of using literature in language learning, followed by Mr. Mustafa Khalid Saleh, who shed light on the common types of literature in language classes, and here is a short abstract regarding this topic: Literature is no doubt a great media for teaching and learning language owing to the fact that the language of literature is very rich in vocabulary, well-organized and consistent. Literary classes not only enhance language abilities, but also foster the progress of better reading and writing skills. Moreover, there are myriads of grammatical structures and lexicons wittily demonstrated and used in the literary texts, which indubitably influence students to better understand the grammar and enrich their resources of the language, particularly English language. Further, focusing merely on the linguistic resources and grammatical rules for teaching students will probably limit and hinder their ability to speak fluently and naturally, as they will not have sufficient room to practice their written and spoken skills broadly. Therefore, the aim of this paper is arguing that literature is an essential key to deciphering all the codes and secrets of foreign languages and it also promotes general linguistic awareness among the students along with rendering them to speak the language with more proficiency.
