    Language and Literature are two words that appear similar in their purport but strictly speaking they are not so. Language is the fundamental unit of literature. In other words it can be said that language makes literature.
    Literature is produced by the creation of works in a particular language by the writers of the language. To become English Lecturer you have to study Masters of Arts in English (MA in English).

    Literature includes books, writings, etc. on any subject, which is basically of superior nature. It can be in any language.
    English is a language in itself and comes under the umbrella of the term literature.
    That's the difference.
    Do your undergraduate degree and post-graduation in English followed by the B.Ed.
    There you're as an English lecturer.

    Literature and Language appears to be same word but are different in every aspects.
    In literature you go for writings like Novel,Essays Books, etc. But in language, you study English grammar to enhance your English writing and speaking skills.
    Now, it's up to you what you like.
    Good Luck

    To become a English lecturer in India, the best way is to complete the masters degree in English Language and then apply for the UGC NET Exam.
    The National Testing Agency conducts the UGC NET Exam for selecting the candidates for the post of Assistant Professor and for awarding Junior Research Fellowship.
    So, by qualifying the UGC NET Exam, you can be a lecturer in insituites and colleges of India.
