The effect of English literary story on communicative competence enhancement in high school

This study is to investigate how effective it is to teach English literary story in high school English setting to let the students enhance their English communicative competence. Basically, in Korea which is one of EFL settings, using English literature as a practical material for English teaching has been neglectful and of little importance. Under the circumstance, few units related to English literature appear on the English text books which have been adopted under the control of the government-driven policy. This study was intended for first graders in high school who are preparing for the SAT. They were divided into two groups, one controlled group which was taught through general practical teaching materials, the other experimental group which was taught through teacher-adapted literary texts such as children's tales, short stories, etc. Before implementing this study, as a means of pre-diagnosis, the target students related to this study were given some English-related survey.ss and aptitude tests and preachievement tests. In view of the level of the findings, both groups were almost the same before the experiment. But later findings indicated that the group given literary texts showed better achievement in communicative competence than the controlled group given some practical materials.
