Literature and language are intertwined and indispensable entities of societies. As a source of authentic material, using literature in language teaching has grabbed the interest of scholars in the last decades since integrating it in language teaching has a lot of benefits for foreign language learners. To this end, this book presents a huge amount of invaluable theoretical underpinnings of using literature in language teaching and practical activities that can be exploited in teaching English as a second or foreign language.

It also investigates using literature in teaching English to young learners focusing on digital sources of literature. Furthermore, this book covers the issue of teaching culture through literature.
