Abstract
Literature has been assumed as a subject of recitation, enjoyment and having no contribution to language skills enrichment. It became less popular when language teaching and learning started to focus on the functional use of language. However, the role of literature in English language teaching (ELT) classroom has been re-assessed and many now view literary texts as providing rich linguistic input. Many experts insist that literature is beneficial in ELT; previous studies have also revealed that literature is usable in the classrooms for a number of reasons. Learners can make use of literary texts to lead them to display performances of plays. The texts provide opportunities for multi-sensorial classroom experiences and can appeal to the learners with different learning styles. They also offer a rich source of linguistic input and can help learners practice the four skills. This research-based paper highlights South Sumatra local literatures, i.e. The Legend of Kemaro Island and The Bitter Tongue (English Version) which were performed and video-recorded. The performance art was created by collaborating visual and non-visual responses after reading these local literature's developed through a recent research and development (R&D) method. The findings were the learners were able to: 1) do a monologue, 2) discuss the content by responding non-visually, 3) create a tableau, 4) discuss the tableau, and 5) create a socio gram in the tableau. This performance art creativity vividly contributes to develop learners? language skills as well as personality.
