The strength of any language teaching methodology rests in part on its ability to adapt to changing circumstances within the larger scene of which it is a member. One of the changes now taking place in ELT is the gradual reemergence of literature in the form of a language teaching tool. In large measure, this change is a response to what Brumfit calls "the trivialization of language teaching" (1985, p. xi) found in many communicative language teaching situations. This shifting in the pedagogical tide creates an excellent opportunity for a reappraisal of what literature may have to offer in the ESP context. The following paper argues in favor of that step. In the process, it advocates a new form of LSP (traditionally, Language for Special Purposes): Literature for Specific Purposes. This paper makes a case for a literary component in ESP using as a foundation a series of concepts developed by Widdowson (1983). It also provides a brief demonstration of the LSP approach using a science fiction story in an EAP/EST context.
