In this article, we highlighted the role of stylistics in teaching or learning different genres of literary works. In addition, we tried to reveal the reasons why students of English language courses at the English language and Literature department of high educational establishments in Uzbekistan have difficulty in literary criticism of a literary work even if it is a poem, prose or a newspaper article. The article also reveals the assumption that language learning and literary study are interdependent, stylistics is important to eliminate the artificial separation of language and literature not as a subject, but as the link between linguistics and literary criticism.
