Role of ICT in english literature and teaching apptitude

In today's modern era, almost each and every country is harnessing the utilities of ICT for improving the standards of life of its citizens. India is no exception to this phenomenon. Indian government is promoting ‘Digital India ’programme with full enthusiasm in different fields including education. Day-by-day, the use of ICT is increasing in the field of education especially in teaching of different subjects. ICT may be a powerful and flexible tool for teaching of English literature also. English literature, like literature of many other languages, has a vast variety of elements of music, emotions, actions and dialogues. Sadly, these elements are generally ignored by teachers during teaching of English literature as these elements are not optimally presented in the way they should be, either because of the dearth of expertise in teachers or because of the lack of resources. This issue can be addressed and resolved well by integrating ICT optimally in the teaching of English literature. So, the present paper focuses on the incorporation of these elements into the flat and dreary teaching of English literature, covering different genres of English literature mainly poetry, prose and drama, by judicially utilizing the innovative approach of ICT to make the teaching process of English literature more interesting, more energetic and more lively and that too with less efforts on the parts of teachers to teach the literature of a foreign language in the countries like India.
