The personal growth method, though more motivating than other model, needs to be

modified to serve the needs of students and to achieve the goals of

literature: to appreciate literature, acquire experience which will

contribute to personal growth and to extend reading literature outside the

classroom. These modifications include making a balance between

learner-centered and teacher-centered methods of teaching. The personal

growth model assumes that focus should be the interests of students and

their own experiences. The desired goal is to develop students' own

opinions and to create an interaction between readers and text. The

question here is this: can students achieve this if they were left on their

own? Depending on the response of the subjects to the instruments, the

answer is 'no'.
