Abstract

The present paper focuses on using diasporic literature in the language classroom to train the students and develop them how to understand, justify, comment, and criticize the diasporic experiences through assigning reading comprehension activities. The purpose of using diasporic literature is not only to teach reading comprehension but also to explain the pros and cons as well as positive and negative views toward utilizing diasporic literature as a source for learning the language. The students are motivated by creating awareness about literary texts on diaspora. Using diasporic literature and enabling the students to read the various diasporic experiences makes the classroom more practical, emotional, and motivating. The current paper discusses the various methodologies for teaching the language through diasporic literature for students to acquire reading skills and critical thinking abilities. 

Keywords
