This paper concerns itself with the teaching of literature in English by the use of ICT resources. It highlights numerous types of ICT resources and how they can be used to facilitate learning or impact the knowledge of literature effectively and efficiently. The paper also seeks to discuss the potential of ICT. What is the future of literature? And if we cannot escape technology, how can we turn it to our own advantage?
