摘要：Teaching English language through literature has never been an easy task. Teachers have to have special skills to draw a picturesque description of the images, events, characters, personalities, events, emotions, meaning of dialogues (both under and above the surface), the plot, etc. in front of the students. Sometimes this colorful description makes the piece of text worth reading and sometimes it just draws a greyish, blurry diagram of something that is merely visible but not intelligible. This papers investigated the impact of teaching literature through visual aids. The research was carried out in a private school on two sections of 5th grade students, who were selected based on purposive sampling technique. Each class comprised of twenty students and the groups were divided into experimental and controlled. The controlled group was taught a piece of literature using the conventional method i.e. reading, explanation of the text, meanings of difficult words and written assessment of the students to check the comprehension of the text. The experimental group, besides going through the same process, after going through the pre-interventions assessment phase, watched a video of the same text. The teachers ensured to select a video which did not have variations from the plot. The assessment was on the standard questions given in the text book. It comprised of explanation of difficult words, MCQs, True and False statements and questions and answers. The pre-test analysis of the received data revealed that the mean score of Group A was 26.05 where the range remained from 16-32 and pretest results of the treatment group and the mean score of this group was recorded as 25.7 which was closer to the mean score of the controlled group whereas the range of Group B was recorded from 17-30. The scores of the Controlled group in the post test achieved by both the groups were raised from 26.05 to 26.30 with the marginal difference of 0.25 marks. However, in the posttest results the mean score of the treatment group was over 33 as compared to their pretest mean score of 25.7. The difference after the treatment in the mean score around 8 which shows that the overall performance of the group increased significantly. The research concluded that teaching literature using visual aids has a positive impact on the students. The researcher also recommended to apply this research on other levels as well to achieve the generalizability of the research.
