SUMMARY
Newer approaches and methods are constantly being developed for effective foreign language teaching and new ways to render it more productive and more enjoyable are being sought. Using literature in language courses is a product of this train of thought for literature is seen and used in all aspects of our lives, we speak and write about literature, i.e. make the four basic skills in language teaching functional.Just as we can not separate language and literature, we cannot think of teaching children foreign languages without the use of children?s literature simply because the texts we choose for children need to be easy to understand based on their age group, interests, and experiences. If these texts are used approppriately, language classes can become more interesting and easy to follow and effective learning can be achieved.
