dc.description.abstractThis paper aims at sharing a decade continuously-assessed-and-improved experience of engaging with literature creatively in a non-credit-but compulsory reading class for the first year students of Theology Department, in which they are prepared so as to take the later credited subject of English for Theology. Triggered by the rare general reading materials relevant to the field of theology, the teaching team decided to turn to Reader's Digest articles. This magazine has several article sections dealing with life values that are universal and considered in line with the objective of the Department ‘s Student Development Program in the hostel. Making use of Donald Freeman's Teacher Source Exploring Second Language Reading—Issues and Strategies by Neil J. Anderson (1999), the Integrated Reading Class is designed to empower the students to comprehend English articles by making use of reading techniques such as scanning, skimming, SQ3R, DRTA, and KWL while learning to enhance their paradigm, values and character through the specifically chosen reading materials, combination of intensive and extensive reading, teaching methodology, and assessment. Continuous studies conducted by the teachers and the participating students reveal and reinforce that the five reading techniques taught are very useful and helpful to improve the students' reading efficiency and effectivity; the reading materials chosen are appropriate to enhance their life values; the use of various teaching methodology are appreciated by the students; the teacher's modeling, personality, and teaching style are effective strategies for motivating; journal writing and self assessment are appropriate alternative assessments.id
