LITERATURE AS A TOOL FOR IMPROVING COMMUNICATION SKILLS AMONG NATIVE AND NON-NATIVE LEARNERS

Many non-native and native speakers from throughout the world have demonstrated that English is a global language. It is also known as the global language because it is the primary means of communication across countries. In our country, the use of English as a common language is critical in education. English learners must place a major emphasis on communication skills. The ultimate purpose of language instruction is to increase communicative abilities.Pragmatics is the process of transferring meaning through communication, and language proficiency is viewed as a tool for communication. Through teaching literature there is a possibility of instilling communication skills among the learners. Pragmatic competence is the ability to perceive and transmit concepts that are more appropriate and acceptable for the cultural and social contexts in which communication occurs. Even though English is used at many levels of communication, speakers must be familiar with a wide range of pragmatic components in order to produce coherence and the ability to adapt to a number of contexts. As a result, one of the primary goals of school should be to improve pragmatic ability while simultaneously assisting with future comprehension.
