The integration of literature into the curriculum is advocated to improve students’ language
skills, their communicative and cultural competence, and enhance their critical thinking skills.
Research showed that using literature in language teaching is very beneficial as it motivated
students, enhanced critical thinking skills and led to developing linguistic knowledge and
cultural awareness. This research paper shows how short stories were integrated in the general
English classroom in the Higher Technological Institute, Egypt, Students were surveyed and
interviewed to identify changes in their motivation and critical thinking skills. An analysis of
students’ written reflections on the stories also indicates improved language skills. |
