Language and literature are entwined entities. Language reflects literature and literary experiences are impossible without language. These two prominent aspects are interwoven with human life at large. The existence of a speech community is demonstrated only when it is able to express its literature and experiences in its own language. The society expresses its accumulated experiences and passions like love, appreciation, hatred, gratitude, apology, etc. through literature. Thus literature can be seen as the sum total of human experience reflected through language. In using literature students are significantly benefited in terms of language skills, raising cultural awareness, and changing views towards native and target societies. Therefore, the book provides the application of Oromo literature in Oromo language teaching with its function. Hence, literature was treated as a means in language teaching rather than teaching it as a subject in the book.
