ABSTRACT This research is a case study in Asuom Senior High School in the Kwaebibirem Municipality, Eastern Region. The objective of this study was to identify the role of learning prose in the written compositions of first year students in ASEC. It also sought to see the impact of the literature-based approach in the composition writings of students. To achieve this, the researcher employed the qualitative design and the instruments used to collect data were; interviews, lesson observations, pre-test and posttest after an intervention treatment. Sixty students took part in the study, thirty students as experiment group and thirty students as control group, together with four teachers of English language. The findings of the study indicated that majority of teachers used traditional approaches to teach written composition and students’ performance was low.
