Integrating Language and Literature Teaching

This paper is intended to arise consciousness of language and literary teachers that the teachings of language can not be separated from the teachings of literature. By using data extracted from various genres of literary works, such as quatrain, gurindam (aphorism), song lyrics, folklore, and fairy tales, etc., it can be proved, that a lot of language formulas, such as metaphors, metonymy, hyperbole, and idioms, etc. are extensively exploited in the literary works. Accordingly, to increase the learners’ comprehension and experience, the teachings of language and literature which are recently carried out separately, in the future should better be integrated.
