A Model of Taking an Integrative Approach to English Literature Using Small Group Activities

This study aims to develop an integrative literary education program which enhances equally both intellectual analysis and emotional appreciation on the part of university students. The research questions are as follows: 1. How can we promote students’ genuine emotional responses as well as intellectual ones to English literary texts? 2. How can we most effectively use small group discussions as a way of taking an integrative approach to English literature? 3. How can we enhance communication between the students and the instructor? This study showed that the simple use of music and a creative writing group project contributed to the students’ deep integrative appreciation of literature. Furthermore, the various types of questions that the instructor offered stimulated the students to fully invest their emotions as well as intellect. In the process, different kinds of communication devices, including the instructor’s diary, students’ literature diaries, and surveys were truly useful for establishing mutual understanding between the instructor and the students. This study will contribute to designing new literary education programs which are apt for current educational surroundings by means of subsequent action researches.
