Introduction
    In an every growing and evolving environment of learning, teaching pedagogies have evolved over the course of time. In fact, in the last two decades in particular, learning English as a second language at various levels have become challenging; the diverse population having non-English background tend to learn the details of English language (Raufman et al, 2019; Lin, 2019). However, the turn of events is that the application of literary texts in enhancing the linguistic knowledge and skills of the ESL learners is somehow questioned; some scholar do not advocate for the use of literature in language as they perceive it intriguing to gain deep meanings of the literary texts in order to understand the complexities of language (Chou, 2021; Lin, 2019). However, the merits of using literature in ESL college level are an exemplary learning framework which allows the students to learn the aspects of English language from multiple dimensions.
Pedagogy of Teaching
    At first, it is important to understand the pedagogy of teaching in terms of applying literature in ESL college level. The term literature is usually the best of all in a language which is produced in writing (Chou, 2021; Lin, 2019). The French term Belles Letters defines it fully which implies literature as ‘simply beautiful writing’. A combination of various genres like poems, plays, fictional and non-fictional prose is acceptable under literal productions. Thus, using literature actually turns the students towards some of the best writings of all times which have been produced in English. If they are new learners, it is apt for them to gain insightful meaning of the selected texts with a view to enhance their ability about comprehending language as a whole (Raufman et al, 2019; Lin, 2019).
    Additionally, literature is always authentic; there cannot be doubts about the sources of it—Shakespeare has written Macbeth and many other plays which are the mi
ors of linguistic beauty and there is no doubt about the author or the language used in Elizabethan period. What makes this credibility relevant in the context of using literature in ESL classrooms is that it enables students to deal with some of the linguistic expressions which are complicated and they are not taught in the classroom (Mpofu & de Jager, 2018; Chou, 2021). For ESL college level students, the syllabus covered in the universities is limited and it does not pertain to provide a holistic picture of the entire language. There is just selection of a few techniques, if the linguistic restrains are applied over pedagogy of teaching English as a second language. There are some set of rules in grammar and composition that students may acquire knowledge of but to enhance their overall ability, they must be introduced to the vase criteria of language which exists in literature only (Mpofu & de Jager, 2018; Chou,...
