Abstract: Exposure is indeed one of the best strategies to learn a target language. Therefore, being exposed to English literature can help the students to have a grasp of the English language, which can enhance their English language proficiency. The researchers believed that being exposed to various forms of English literature has an impact on developing students’ English language proficiency. This study determined the exposure to English literature of 277 grade 8 students of Lian using a descriptive correlational design. The data gathered were subjected to statistical analysis using frequency, percentage, t-test, ranking, and weighted mean. Moreover, a survey questionnaire was distributed to gather data and used stratified random sampling. The result showed that exposure to English literature has an impact on the student’s English language proficiency. This study also recognized the factors that hinder students from exposing themselves to English literature. In addition, this study found that there is a significant difference between the responses of males and females in terms of their exposure to English literature. However, the study reveals that the students’ exposure to various forms of literature is inadequate. Therefore, an action plan consisting of various enhancement activities was developed to enhance students’ exposure to various forms of English literature.
