| Abstract | ||
| Culture-integrated foreign language teaching holds an important place in foreign language education worldwide. The increasing awareness of cultural hybridity and the openness of cultural frontiers make an urgent call for an approach, which is compatible with a focus on the cultural context. The present paper attempts to vindicate that literature has many cultural implications if taught via a reader response approach. In addition to helping students develop an awareness of the target language culture, this approach calls for the participation of the reader, who brings to the text his experience and cultural knowledge in the interpretative process. In a reader response approach, meaning is constructed through a transaction/interaction between the reader and the text. Hence, the reading process opens a dialogue between cultures. | ||
