David Bosilaito Lomboto

Abstract


 This paper is almost an attempt to highlight the importance of literature teaching, particularly, different genres to our EFL learners, in a Congolese context (DRC).

 The purpose is to argue the effectiveness of instruction, in hope to assist teachers to develop their learners’ strategic knowledge to enhance their language skills and thus, asses their learners’ attitude, in terms of how our EFL students may have distorted views about English in general, and literature in particular.
