Hence, this research encompasses experiential knowledge of the participants and the results aim to inform the curriculum development practice situated at ELT departments in Turkey. In order to collect the views of the prospective English language teachers on the literature courses in their curriculum, 15 prospective language teachers were interviewed via structured questions. Apart from the interviews, an opinion survey was also applied to 100 other students to strengthen and further the interpretation of the findings.
