Abstract:
Education is the key to addressing the social, political, and economic problems that
society faces. In order to establish literature-based models that are used in the
instruction of Integrated English, the study examined the learning activities that were
used in teaching and learning. The study used qualitative research methodology. The
instruments for data collection were observation schedules, interviews, and
recordings. Data was analysed qualitatively and the results were presented as per the
emergent themes. The findings revealed that: reading, singing, debating, roleplaying, dramatization, summarizing, and responding to questions were the learning
activities that learners were engaged in. The literature-based models applied in
language education were: culture model, language model, and personal growth
model. The study suggests that an environmental model should be developed and
used to prompt authors of literary and non-literary materials to incorporate
environmental concerns into their work. It will lead to balancing learning of language
skills; literary and non-literary texts, focusing on environmental challenges and
appropriate intervention strategies. Acquired knowledge, skills, and values inform
practice, which later inform appropriate action.
