The Effect of English Literature on Communication Skills in English
It is quite known that there is an intimate relationship between reading literature and improving communication skills. English can be acquired in different ways. However, it could be refined through reading literary texts. Literature has many functions: esthetic and pragmatic functions are two essential factors that contribute to shaping and enhancing communication skills. They add to one's knowledge, and their professional and academic role in establishing positive communication is apparent. The prime aim of the study, the Effect of English on Communication Skills in English, is to identify how literature can affect English learners' speaking and writing abilities. Another focal point of the research is tracing the influence of literature on fostering communication skills utilized in cultural and social contexts. On the other hand, the study attempts to tackle the gap between handling literature and communication separately as tools for language acquisition. Additionally, the study tries to discern the convergent lines linking literature and communication in terms of the reciprocal relations between both of them. A theoretical literature review outlines the nature of this relationship, featuring some literary texts. The larger area of discussion analyzes some other pivotal quotations with relevance to the topic under study. The study shows a tenancy to incorporate more literary texts in education and everyday language.
