In this introductory lesson, I shall discuss the conceptions and nature of Literature, its functions and concerns. It is hoped that this will give teachers a background of the scope of Literature for secondary schools, and help them to utilize the wide range of Literature at their disposal. Before teachers can attempt to teach literature, they must address themselves to issues raised in this chapter sufficiently enough to enable them to have a clear direction in what they set out to teach.
