With the great shift from face to face to virtual learning, various challenges are encountered both by the learners and the teachers. Although there were studies concerning the teaching of literature, only a few explored at various perspectives by which the literature courses are being taught in a remote situation. Thus, this descriptive study attempted to investigate the different challenges faced by the students and faculty members in learning and teaching literature across four angles: student- related challenges, literary text- related challenges, instruction and pedagogy- related challenges, and remote learning challenges. The study was conducted at Cavite State University Imus Campus during the First Semester of AY 2020- 2021. A modified survey adapted from Hussein and Al- Emami (2016) was used to gather pertinent data from 201 students and ten faculty members teaching literature.
Using descriptive statistics, results reveal that for the higher education students, literary texts and the remote distance learning were just moderate challenges for them. However, for the faculty members, they regard both the student and literary text- related challenges as high impediments in teaching literature. These findings from both perspectives are vital in rethinking, revising, and revitalizing the course syllabus, learning guides, teaching strategies, and lesson plans in teaching literature.
