Abstract

The aim of this article is to investigate how one can apply literary ap- proach strategies to promote the "writing" skill of German students at Iranian uni- versities.Background studies: Writing is a skill that can be learned. In particular, writing technical texts for the university requires appropriate training and the use of professional methods and strategies. Summarizing a literary text without using the methods and strategies is considered to be rather impossible and these must definitely be acquired. Language and culture have a strong and inseparable rela- tionship. In addition, it goes without saying that communicative skills now also in- clude intercultural skills. You can only learn and understand the foreign language correctly if you also understand the culture. Today, literature as a comprehensive cultural medium is assigned an important role in foreign language didactics for teaching and promoting the four skills (in the sense of reading, listening, speaking and writing).
