Learning language through literature
Many teachers say that the literature is a big source for learning any language, but it's still questionable that literature may imrpove the language since it's full with literary meanings which are hard to be understood. learners of languegs prefer reading and learning through easy articles such as: newspapers, magazenes, and documantary programms on T.V. Materials of such medium have easy language with less use of idioms and slang language, so literature differsin terms of this point because the students may waste their time looking for literary meanings and so they won't get the most out of the written language. I'm not with the idea that literature is a good way for beginning learners of any language and so it should be given only for students of very advanced level...

Learning language through literature.
Many teachers say that literature is a big source for learning any language, but it is still questionable as to whether or not literature may improove the language since it is full of literary meanings which are hard to understand. Most people, when learning a new language prefer reading through easy articles such as: newspapers, magazines, and documentary programs on T.V. Materials such as these ( newspapers, magazines TV) make it easier to understand the language; with less use of idioms and slang language, so the use of literature differs in terms of this point because students may waste their time looking for literary meanings. therefore they may not make much progress in written language. I do not like the idea of using literature as a way for beginning learners to grasp the fundamentals of any language. I believe that it should be given for students who possess an advanced level of the language that they are studying...hopefully you can see some of the changes I made! If you have any questions, let me know.

Yes! That's right but it depends on the student's level I guess.
