This article explores the significance of developing students' stylistic awareness through the use of literary texts in English as a Second Language (ESL) contexts. It examines pedagogical approaches, the role of literary analysis, and the impact on language proficiency and cultural understanding. The paper discusses specific classroom strategies such as guided reading, creative writing, and role-playing that make stylistic features more accessible to learners. It also addresses common challenges including linguistic complexity and cultural references, emphasizing the need for careful text selection and scaffolding.
