Abstract
Abstract This study investigates the development of second language writing skills of third year students of Abbas Laghrour University in Khenchela through the inclusion of literary texts. Online Questionnaire was conducted by participants from the university students in order to reflect their views and attitudes towards the role played by literature in developing the writing skills of EFL learners. The findings of this study show that literature has a vital role in developing the language skills in general, and writing skills in particular. In addition how the literary texts affect students‟ development of writing skills through including them in the curriculum. This development follows different paths according to students‟ writing ability. This study argues that there are factors at the personal and program levels that contribute to this development. Similarly, the development of these writing skills has an impact on the individual, their teaching, and their academic communities.
