I.Literature review

The goal of learning a foreign language is the ability to use it,understanding its meaning and connotation in terms of the target language and culture,and the ability to understand the speech and writing of natives of the target culture in terms of their meanings as well as their great ideas and achievements. The ever-increasing importance and influence of English as an international language in the world has greatly promoted the global development of the English teaching and learning. Therefore,they can be mainly classified in four parts. Firstly,many strategies have been developed in language teaching and learning,including listening,speaking,reading,writing,vocabulary,grammar and so on. Secondly,the participants,especially students are considered as the research subjects so as to explore the influence of personal motivation and persistence on the English learning as well as the development of learners autonomy. The conception of student-centered has been widely accepted. Thirdly,many advanced technologies have played an important role in English teaching and learning. Multimedia and Internet resources have been used as effective means to improve English learning. Finally,many kinds of English textbooks are encouraged to improve effectively the English learning,at the same time,the various forms of English tests are used to evaluate the results by adopting different strategies.

However,approaches to English teaching have ignored literature teaching especially among non-English majors. The importance of literature teaching has nearly been neglected in recent discussions of English learning. But in recent years,with the research of the relationship between culture and language teaching deepening,researchers come to realize and study the necessity of introducing culture into language teaching,the intercultural awareness and intercultural communication competence. Poetry is considered an efficient pedagogical approach in CET class. Most of them are just theoretical studies. Therefore,our research is to put literary teaching into practice and obtain its possibility and effectiveness in English teaching of non-English major college students.
