The study aims at implementing a literature-based approach in an EFL course for university students. The students in this study read the text outside of the class and met regularly to do reading related activities throughout the semester. Data collection consisted of audio-recordings of classroom conversations and interviews,both the students’ and the instructor’s journals, and pre- and post-class surveys. Research questions were set up to explore the dynamic aspects of foreign language learning. Data analysis revealed the following results: The first finding was that students could refine their language skills based on communicative language use by improving English production skills while as learning how to use text structures in developing language skills. The second finding was that students changed their perceptions of language learning. Students started to take ownership toward their learning and thus they could grow as language learners by showing their voluntary work in learning the new language. The third finding was that students in this study could extend experiences through dynamic reading transaction by identifying themselves with the characters from the texts and nurturing reflective responses. Based on the results, the implications of the findings and suggestions for follow-up studies were provided.
