ABSTRACT
Literature is widely acknowledged as a valuable resource for acquiring language
skills and cultural knowledge, promoting comprehension, and fostering critical
thinking abilities. The study of literature can foster a heightened sense of collective
accountability among students towards global events. This study aims to assess the
perspectives of teachers and students regarding the utilization of literacy materials in
an ESL setting. The present study endeavors to make a scholarly contribution to this
particular field of inquiry by examining the perceptions of both students and teachers
toward the utilization of literacy texts within the context of ESL instruction. The
study employed qualitative research. The research was carried out in Abuja, Nigeria.
The study involved a sample of 35 individuals, consisting of 20 students and 15
teachers. Purposive sampling was utilized. Primary data in the form of online
interviews was used as a method to obtain data from the participants in the study.
Content analysis was used to analyze the data obtained. As per the results of the
research, teachers exhibited a favorable perception towards the utilization of literary
works and literature-derived resources in ESL instructional settings.Teachers stated
