This document discusses using technology tools to enhance literature instruction. It proposes including literature in general English, EAP, and literature courses. Technology can add value by enabling statistical text analysis, creative expression in videos, and increased visuals. Tools should support learning goals and be chosen based on context and availability. Suggested tasks include using word clouds before reading, avatars and profiles during reading, and making book trailers or alterations after reading. Specific free tools are listed that could support tasks like poetry or storytelling at different stages.
