Since the perspective of the traditional/structuralism school could not provide enough ‘reader involvement’, reader-response is one of the alternatives that support teaching against the grain. It provides the students with a more active exploration of the text in relation to their selves. This active engagement is important from the perspective of pedagogy. It enriches ‘student-centered’ methodology. The application, however, must be combined with a critical perspective. This process encourages students to identify the position of power in the literary texts. It allows teachers to explore students’ responses that will obviously become invaluable resources in the teaching-learning process.
