Abstract
The paper reviews the role of teaching second language (SL) by using Communicative Approach. The main purpose of this paper is to analyze the importance of using literature and Communicative Approach for teaching and learning second language (SL). The review of previous literature indicates that teachers normally prefer to teach L2 through Grammar Translation Method (GTM), which requires little efforts and few resources to teach (L1). Many studies have found that GTM is not an effective method of teaching (SL). In order to critically understand at a deeper level the role of literature and Communicative Approach in teaching SL, this paper explores thoroughly the existing literature and analyzes various works done on the importance of using Literature and Communicative Approach to teach SL. The current study found that teaching of SL through literature and Communicative Approach is more effective than through GTM. It is, therefore, recommended on the basis of this paper that teachers of L2 should adopt Communicative Approach and literature for teaching second language.
