Blending Of Literature And Language For Language Learning

Abstract

Language is interwoven with culture and contributes to the richness of vocabulary. Culture and life experiences form basis for language and literary learning. We could see therefore culture, language and literature are closely knit. The co- existence of this togetherness is the beauty of literature. Language learning especially second language acquisition could be made with the short stories and fables. The taste of literature is what exposes to the aesthetics of language. Social media stories and films are all are the picture forms of literatures. Songs and music have a lot of influence and play a vital role in learning language. In fact the modern way of digital teaching has greatly guided in socio linguistic method of learning language with the exposure to the relevant language culture. The syntax and semantics of the language demand a structured study to understand. Semantics is the study of the meaning of the words and sentences and interpretation of words, the construction of sentences and the literal interpretation of the text. Language in the beginning is learnt through repeat ion and recapitulation. Later stages provide an insight into how a person builds ability and understanding the language. Syntax being the fundamental part of written language needs correct choice of words, phrases in the right order and proper usage of grammar.  Reading literature unconsciously trains and tunes the mind towards picking up the exact vocabulary and suitable grammar and apt circumstances which are the prerequisites for the acquisition of language. Due to globalization and increased business activities and usage of machines have modified the language function. This has brought up the division in the language learning based on the specific purpose of the language. The age of digital learning has opened the gateways of learning the language at a quicker pace with knowledge being available at a click of a button and numerous websites, blogs and animation has made the virtual world so close to everyone and the images could make the learning easy.  We infer from all this is the story form is more attractive but the length has been shortened. Teaching through literature changed the mode of teaching and reduced the text but retained the literature.
