Abstract

Different approaches may be used in teaching or developing reading comprehension skills. The present study is an attempt to see if aesthetic transaction approach in reading literary texts can lead to better achievement in this regard. The effective and determining factors in reading comprehension of literary texts were not considered or investigated in a systematic, research-based and empirical way. The investigation of aesthetic transaction approach in reading literary texts not only helps to understand reading comprehension of literary texts more clearly, but it also provides understanding of reading comprehension in a foreign language. The methodology used in this study is descriptive-correlational with the use of Delphi technique to get more reliable results. The instruments being used are questionnaires with a sample consisting of 228 students of English literature and translation from Islamic Azad University (Karaj and Qom Branches). The findings indicate that there is a significant correlation between 'aesthetic transaction' and reading comprehension of literary texts.Among the determining factors of reading comprehension of literary texts, 'attraction' of reading is indicated to be the most important one. The other results obtained show that the higher the level of difficulty of literary texts becomes, the higher the degree of aesthetic transaction is experienced. The results show the opposite for non-literary texts.
