Why Study Literature?
Ideas for how English teachers can respond to the question, Why study literature? Theories about the teaching of literature should be reviewed; students must be provided with opportunities to read and respond in both speech and writing to a variety of literary texts; and it offers students opportunities for developing judgment. Reader-response theory can make literature more meaningful for students. The teaching implications of using this theory are examined. From the JAE issue on Adventist schools and the arts.
