Exploring Literary Responses in an EFL Classroom.

Liaw, Meei-Ling

Foreign Language Annals, v34 n1 p35-45 Jan-Feb 2001

Examined Taiwanese university students' responses to five American short stories. A reader-response approach to teaching English-as-a-foreign-language reading was used. Students' journals were analyzed and students were interviewed. Analysis of the journals reveals students went beyond comprehension of text and actively constructed meaning through complex transactions with the texts. (Author/VWL)
