This study's aim is to develop English fluency in the literature classroom. The objectives of teaching literature would be divided into three parts; teaching its language, teaching the culture represented in it, and teaching literary worth. Reading literature gives students literary experience which influences our emotional development and aids them in making students' linguistic knowledge much richer. It also helps to understand the cultural contexts of the literature. In order to maximize this goal, I studied various opinions on teaching English through English literature, researched many methodologies, and tried to show ways to use English literature as effective teaching material by applying this information to the American short story, "Love" written by Jesse Stuart. English short stories can be acknowledged as valuable English teaching resources, and diverse methods of utilizing them are suggested for teaching English. The vital necessities to effectively use short stories in class are the earnest participation of the students, the appropriate literary texts and teaching methods. And for this purpose, interactive teaching and learning among teachers and students are essential. And it is also important to establish the work stability for the students' interest and levels of English. For this, an educator should design syllabus or a curriculum with learner-centered activities.
