The question of literature is a vital one for ESL teaching since literature is the most expressive function of a language-yet its position in an ESL program has never been adequately defined because such consideration reaches into the most fundamental assumptions of language and language teaching, and we have too often accepted such fundamentals as received data and concentrated our thought and time on methods-the hows rather than the whys of TESOL teaching practice. The intention of these two papers is not to be specifically practical. We do not offer a convenient methodology of tricks and techniques for classroom problems-our aims are more general: to dwell upon the fundamental concepts of the language/literature dichotomy which we have created to plague ourselves. The recognition of this division and its effects must be the elements which precede more immediate, more practical classroom needs-though I hope we shall pave the way for these, too
