Media studies can have a healthy symbiotic relationship with literature studies, where each supports and enriches the other. This paper describes eleven teaching strategies that the author has developed and used in his English teaching. The strategies help students engage with and understand literary works, while simultaneously providing opportunities to understand and appreciate media literacy. The strategies include biography as
representation, fanfiction as audience participation, movie posters and trailers as summations and highlights, creating and analyzing adaptations, translation from video to print, representation through T-shirt design and Facebook pages, and supporting poetic meanings through audio and visual designs.
