Description

<p>Previous studies on "the use of literature in foreign language teaching" have proposed various pedagogical merits which literary texts may have. However, they have not taken into consideration whether a given literary work can really function as a literary text in the classroom. The present study introduces a Transaction Model, which enables us to discuss this issue. This model consists of three components (the text, the reader's trais, and the reading situation), and their transaction steers the reader to adopt a specific way of information processing towards the text. Based on this model, I exemplify what kind of research should be done from now on in order to unravel the relationship between reading foreign literature and learning (and teaching) a foreign language. Moreover, I answer a few questions which readers of the present study may ask. This study is expected to give a useful framework for studies on "the use of literature in foreign language teaching" and to develop this research area.</p>
