INTRODUCTION
The concept of learning of the 21 st Century meets the

perceived as a two-way interaction between instructors and
students. What the students learn depends largely on the
degree of commitment to the teaching tasks on the part of the
teacher.
Teaching Literature is a subject, and a difficult one. Doing it
well requires scholarly and critical sophistication, but it also
requires a clear idea of what literature is, what is entailed in
reading and characterizing. It requires, in fact some very selfconscious theorizing. Teaching Literature should give priority to
the appreciative activity than the knowledge of literature itself
because the main purpose of teaching and learning literature is
appreciating the value that contains in literature.

students in the classroom. To achieve these objectives,
teacher effectiveness is needed for all faculties. Unlike many
American universities, it has not focused attention on the area
of teacher effectiveness.

training in pedagogy although they possess specialized skills
in areas. Students opinion can provide important information
and valid questions, answered by students in the context of
appropriate data-collection process will yield reliable and
useful results. Students rating is the main source of
information about teachers ability in teaching.
