The purpose of this research was to investigate the perceptions of two courses of UPTM undergraduates majoring in English towards English literature, the difficulties encountered, and the types of methods that suit their needs in learning English literature. The study employed a quantitative method by collecting data from 100 respondents through 39-item questionnaires. Undergraduates perceived that learning English literature was pleasant as it could assist them in expanding their vocabulary and enhancing language skills. Even so, concerns such as the vocabulary they discovered while learning English literary texts having multiple meanings hindered them from learning English literature and inhibited their ability to comprehend literature better. However, the guidance of teachers or lecturers is a feasible approach to facilitate students learning in English literature. Overall, the findings suggest the need for increased exposure and tailored teaching methods to improve English literature learning outcomes.
