This article addresses frequent problems that teachers have when instructing high school pupils in English literature and offers workable answers. The requirement for strong critical thinking abilities, complicated textual language, unknown historical and cultural backgrounds, and low student participation are some of the main obstacles. The essay makes recommendations for tactics including relating subjects to students' own experiences, progressively expanding vocabulary, providing historical context through multimedia, and teaching analytical abilities in phases. It also emphasizes how crucial it is to accommodate different learning styles and strike a balance between test preparation and creative pursuits. By making literature more approachable, interesting, and pertinent, these methods hope to deepen students' appreciation and comprehension of literature.
