Abstract	Today, it is discussed that the use of literary texts in foreign language classroom as a course material isn't obligatory; but necessary due to the close relationship between language and literature. Although literary texts are accepted as authentic documents and do not have any purpose for language teaching, they are indispensable sources to be used for development of basic language skills. Here the purpose is not just to contribute to teaching basic language skills, but also to contribute to teaching the culture of foreign language and to provide different perspectives to students while teaching. It is also thanks to linguistic and grammatical structures of literary texts that they can be used as an effective course material to teach the grammar of target language in the foreign language classroom. This study is a theoretical knowledge based on a research and it analyzes the use of literary text to teach grammar in foreign language classroom.
