The Language Model

The most commonapproach to literature in theEFL classroom is what Carter and Long (1991)

refer to as the language-based approach. Such

an approach enables learners to access a text in

a systematic and methodical way in order toexemplify specific linguistic features e.g. literal

and figurative language, direct and indirect

speech. This approach lends itself well to the

repertoire of strategies used in language teaching- cloze procedure, prediction exercises, jumbled

sentences, summary writing, creative writing and

role play - which all form part of the repertoire of

EFL activities used by teachers to deconstruct


27/33

The Personal Growth Model

This model attempts to bridge the cultural modeland the language model by focusing on the

particular use of language in a text, as well as

placing it in a specific cultural context. Learners

are encouraged to express their opinions, feelings

and opinions and make connections between their

own personal and cultural experiences and those

expressed in the text. Another aspect of thismodel is that it helps learners develop knowledge

of ideas and languagecontent and formal

schematathrough different themes and topics.
