Abstract	This paper proposes a literature-based composition course for advanced Non-native English Speaking (NNES) students in an English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program and provides a rationale, a syllabus, and some suggested pedagogy for consideration. The principal reasons for choosing a literature-based format, in our opinion, include the following: (1) extended writing about texts should lead to reading comprehension improvement; (2) culturally responsive literature should enhance engagement; (3) reading literature will assist NNES students with developing strategies applied to reading-to-write tasks and to integrated writing skills; (4) reading for writing (RFW) will expose NNES students to a wide range of genres, syntactic constructions, discourse structures, and words and word families; (5) RFW should lead to the development of multiple-documents literacy; and (6) contemporary writing models incorporate reading as a component of the composing process, which emphasizes the interdependency of reading and writing. (As Provided).
