The great problem lies in teaching as a science: if you study mathematics you have no option. You must deal with every aspect of your particular field. You will be an specialist. If you study literature, you wont be a specialist.

But this is already how it works. Alphabetization is the basic level of interpretation. Even if at first, literature is rather a support than an objective after all you will use language for oral conversations as well.
There is also another problem, like Wittgenstein said, language is not logical, you can not even say what you are really thinking. Since literature or art is often a estilization of language, it is even harder. Show and not tell is probably the best way to teach literature.
