Although it's true that literature teachers frequently favor more conventional teaching strategies like close reading, critical analysis, and class discussions, which have been shown to be successful in helping students improve their reading comprehension and analytical abilities, I think that incorporating technology into literature classes can improve student performance.

There are several reasons:

Historical and Cultural Factors:

-Traditional focus on close reading and critical analysis: Literature study has historically emphasized close reading of texts, textual analysis, and development of critical thinking skills. Integrating technology can feel like a digression from these core values.

-Concern about "dumbing down" literature: Some fear that relying on technology could lead to superficial engagement with texts and a loss of appreciation for the richness and complexity of literature.

-Perception of technology as incompatible with literary experience: Literature is often seen as an inherently human and contemplative activity, potentially at odds with the perceived superficiality or distractions of technology.

Practical Challenges:

- Lack of training and resources: Many literature teachers may not have adequate training or experience in using technology effectively for teaching. Additionally, schools may not have enough funds or devices to support widespread technology integration.

- Difficulty finding appropriate tools: The sheer variety and rapidly evolving nature of educational technology can make it challenging to find tools that are specifically designed for and well-suited to teaching literature.

- Assessment concerns: Integrating technology can raise new questions about student assessment and evaluation. Ensuring that technology use enhances, rather than undermines, understanding and critical thinking can be a challenge.

This is an interesting question, and Sigifredo Castell- Britton gave an excellent answer. At the same time, teaching literature using technology appears to be a barely explored area, and, as Sigifredo Castell- Britton pointed out, rapidly evolving educational technology makes finding well-suited tools difficult. On the other hand, the sheer variety of educational technology may be worth exploration. Thanks for the idea, Dr. John Sekar Jeyaraj.

That's a thought-provoking question!!! Haven't really thought of it as much as I have employed technology in language teaching.

John Sekar Jeyaraj Sir,yet I remember only using twitterature then.

I find the answer could be that, language is for functional purpose and so technological aids are being utilised. Whereas, literature is the display of the function itself wherein the essence of it can only be communicated by/with another human. In this standpoint, technological aids can be opted as a medium to connect teachers and learners but not technology as a standalone mode to learn literature from.
