Students’ Sounding Board / Literature in English Class?
« on: March 26, 2010, 07:17:24 PM »
Just something off the top of my head...
This may sound a bit strange. But, why is literature tackled in English class? For example, in our class, we studied on Chinua Achebe's "Things Fall Apart" which is African literature.
Is there such a thing called "Literature Class"? If there is, why are pieces of literature that are not distinctively English taken up in English class?
Any help would be appreciated.
