importance of stylistic approach in teaching
literature in general and poetry in particular. The
context of the study is classrooms of universities
featuring ESL classes. The objective is inducing
critical thinking and purposeful essay writing based
on linguistic features of texts. Initially, we try to

a glimpse at the concepts of style and stylistics.

of stylistics are discussed next. Following the
introductory section, the main question and the
thesis of the paper, the importance of application of
stylistics approach in teaching literature in ESL
classes, is discussed. The paper is aimed towards a
practical exploration of the topic, hence, ESL

procedure are depicted. The closing section of the
paper is a short analysis of a poem by E. E.
