The methods and strategies of teaching and learning literature components has evolved over time and this includes the integration of technology in teaching literature. All parties, including teachers, parents and schools have been responsible in promoting literature. However, regardless of all the initiatives taken in regards to promoting literature, students nowadays tend to still lack of competency in learning literature due to lack of interest in learning literature. Hence, it is believed that there is a need for an innovation of using media in teaching literature in the classroom. “Lit-Movie” which is an inventive teaching and learning material is designed and developed to help assist language teachers with a more fun way to teach literature to their students.
