The Idol: A Model for Incorporating Literature in Elt
Abstract
This paper is aimed at introducing an instructional development model which is designed in response to two strong desires i.e. to show the most effective ways of incorporating literature in English Language Teaching and to provide a comprehensive framework for English teachers to develop literature-based ELT materials. The proposed instructional model consists of four distinct phases of development i.e. Input phase(Identifying learners’ needs by carrying out a needs analysis), Development phase(Using the information on the learners’ needs to select and to organize the literature based ELT materials), Output Phase (producing the prototypes of literature-based ELT materials), Language acquisition Phase (Assessing the effect of the literature-based ELT materials on the learners’ language proficiency) which are here abbreviated as The IDOL Model. The phases are clearly presented and seem compatible the other phases commonly available in the area of instructional materials development in today’s English language teaching. Therefore, this model appears to provide useful assistance to materials designers and English teachers in developing a well-designed literature-based ELT material.
