Abstract

Classroom discussions of literature create a pedagogically sound platform in the ELT classroom for language acquisition to take place. The pedagogic rationale for embracing literature discussions lies in the claim that they lend the necessary guidance language learners need to construct meaning, promote comprehension and seek ways to articulate their ideas, opinions and interpretations. This article discusses benefits of implementing literature discussions with undergraduate ELT students to empower their growth in oral communication. The data revealed favorable responses toward using literature discussions in language learning with regard to their benefits in building a solid foundation for learners to experiment with language by means of dialogic exchanges for the development of speaking skills.
