Abstract

Educational content is more important in the teaching and learning process, and if it is chosen correctly and is in line with the goals of educational planners, it can play an effective role in the effectiveness of curricula. Fictional texts, especially novels, have a privileged educational function in strengthening and developing language skills due to the inclusion of the spoken language of the society, the sequence of events in it, the interest in following the end of the fictional characters, and also the suitability with the individual tastes of language learners. The present essay, with a descriptive and analytical approach, seeks to investigate the place and role of novel teaching in teaching language skills. The findings of the research show that reading the novel strengthens and develops the vocabulary of language learners and students, and also helps them to use the words and combinations of the novel and imitate its expressive and linguistic style in writing and practical composition. The application of the novel in the curriculum of Arabic language students helps to strengthen the speaking skills of the students because they can use the dialogues of the story characters in real situations.
