  3. The Cultural Model Teachers - working within such an orientation stress the value of lit in encapsulating the accumulated wisdom , the best that has been taught and felt within a culture Literature - Express the most significant ideas and sentiments of human being Teaching Literature - Represents means by which students can put in touch with a range of expression - often of universal value & validity - over a historical period. so
  4. The Cultural Model Enables students to understand and appreciate cultures and ideologies different from their own in time & space and to come to perceive tradition of thoughts, feeling and artistic from within the heritage the lit of such culture provide.
  5. THE CULTURAL MODEL , CULTURAL ENRICHMENT — For many language learners the ideal way to deepen their understanding of life in the country where the 9 language is spoken - (visit or an extended stay) — Some may start learning a language knowing that they are unlikely ever to set foot in an area where it is spoken by the majority inhabitants - FOR ALL SUCH LEARNERS , more indirect routes to this form of understanding must be adopted so that they gain an understanding of the way of life of the country.

  11. THE LANGUAGE MODEL Such an argument misunderstands the nature of language in literature and may even result in mechanistic and demotivating teaching practices which substitute language activities in place of a genuine engagement with the work as literature & Will probably have the detrimental effect of spoiling any pleasure the story or etc might have given.
  12. THE LANGUAGE MODEL One of the main reasons - teacher's orientation- towards language model — To put the students in touch with some of the more subtle or varied creative uses of the language. There is much to be gained - lang. development From exposure to such language but a main desire of language-centered lit teaching is to help the ss find ways into a text in a methodical way and for themselves.
  13. THE LANGUAGE MODEL The proponent of this model argue that language is the literary medium, that literature is made from language and that the more ss can read in and through language the better they will be come to terms with text as literature.
  14. THE PERSONAL GROWTH MODEL One of the main goals for teachers who are primarily committed to a personal growth model of literature teaching is to try to help students to achieve an engagement with the reading of literary texts. E.g ... This engagement cannot really be measured in terms of passing examinations in literature. The test of teacher's success in teaching lit is
  15. THE PERSONAL GROWTH MODEL the extent to which ss carry with them beyond the classroom an enjoyment and love for lit which is renewed as they continue to engage with lit throughout their lives. What the teacher will have imparted in such cases is a lasting pleasure in reading and deep satisfaction in a continuing growth of understanding.
