| چکیده مقاله |
| Communicative competence, as the generally accepted goal in ELT, consists of grammatical, sociolinguistic and strategic competence which enable the learners to cope with the most common situations they are likely to face. If learners are to be encouraged to participate in a conversation in the classroom, they should be given a meaningful content that will provoke their interest, capture their imagination and give them something important to talk and write about. Some sources provide materials that can meet some of the main skills, but literature has proved a good source that fulfills them. Also, language learning deals with culture, and hence with social understanding. It is this feature of language that demands materials dealing with culture. As such, the present paper will debate the reasons behind using literature as a good source in teaching English language. The 37 randomly selected participants (19-22) in Khuzestan Province tolerated Hutchinson & Waters (1987) model. For the validity and reliability of the instruments, the researchers used the item validity to make sure that the instruments used were valid and reliable. The results of this study showed that developing English materials through local content integration were considered suitable for the intended students as showed through the results of try-out and evaluation done with the students and an expert in the field. |
