Description:	Much literature research is dedicated to product-based elements of teaching and learning literature such as types of approaches, learner motivation, effects of proficiency level while studies on the aesthetic process of reading and responding to literary works are relatively scarce. The main purpose of the study is to map out a pedagogical model based on an integrated reader response approach to enhance literary transaction of second language learners. This study seeks to examine reader orientations, response types and reading procedures based on the integrated model. This mixed-method, process-oriented study involved 46 seventeen-year-old students in one school in Selangor. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected through the questionnaire, literary texts, classroom tasks and interview sessions. The findings revealed that in term of reading orientation, this group of learners showed inclination for the study of literature at school and was highly motivated by interesting plots in narrative texts. In view of response types, interpretation and literal recall were the dominant ones produced by the learners. In the process of reading there were distinctive steps established by the learners in reading, responding to and comprehending a new narrative. Based on this, an instructional procedure based on reader response approach was developed. The findings of the research have expanded the applicability of reader response and foregrounding theories in a second language context through this model. Regardless of proficiency level, this study has also shown that second language learners have the capacity to engage in meaningful literary transactions. A major implication of the study is for educators to provide opportunities for learners' personal responses in the literature classroom that will contribute to learner autonomy, an important element of 21st century learning.,Certification of Master's/Doctoral Thesis" is not available
