Research Gap:

1. Integration into Existing Curriculums:

• More research is needed on how to effectively integrate e-lit into existing EFL curriculums.

• Studies could explore strategies for aligning e-lit activities with learning objectives and adapting them to different proficiency levels.

2. Teacher Training and Support:

• Many EFL teachers may lack the familiarity or confidence to use e-lit in their classrooms.

• Research could explore effective teacher training programs that equip educators with the necessary skills and resources to utilize e-lit effectively.

  3. Accessibility and Technological Considerations:

  • Not all EFL learners have consistent access to technology or digital literacy skills.

  • Research could explore ways to make e-lit materials more accessible and address potential technological barriers in different learning environments.

Current issues:

- historical problems, which are more closely related to the historical background of literary work that the students must understand in order to discern the structure of the society and the cultural context in which the work was produced.

- Philosophical, involve the difficulty of the students to master the conceptual framework to understand the work. It is because the students are of course lack of some information on literary theories so that they find some complicated issues which they cannot grab in mind.

- Cultural and social problems, are mainly on the situation and context of cultural awareness the students must encounter when understanding a work of literature.

- A psychological context, it challenges the students to think and give response over a certain psychological phenomena in the work they are reading. The students often find difficulty to investigate the psychological problems in the work they encounter.

Research Gap:

The texts chosen should not be too culturally insider oriented and should not be overburdened with cultural or historical references. The literary text chosen should not be almost impossible for the students to comprehend due to the unknown cultural or historical references. The texts chosen should introduce ideas which are interesting and relevant for the students which result in fruitful discussion. Concepts which are new, although challenging, might be more interesting than the safer choice of universal themes such as love, family, marriage or nature.
