A main factor of learning process is the promotion of reflective thinking in the learner. A reflective process, orreflective thinking, is considered a critical component of transformative learning for learners (Kember et al., 1999;Mezirow, 1991). Literary texts are good means to create suitable environments for English students to go throughreflective thinking to see why the things are the way they see them, or why things are different from theirexpectations, or why they are different from the others they encounter in literature. This way, learners reflect ontheir own experiences and compare how their experiences are similar to or different from their expectations. Ofcourse, during this reflecting process, they engage emotionally, and this emotional engagement helps them a lot toperceive the situation far better. This better perception is of much worth in learning the language. They learn thelanguage as they are engaged with other aspects of learning. It can be said that they acquire the English knowledge,just as children acquire their native language. When acquiring his native language, a child's attempt is not learningthe language. He uses the language to communicate with his elders, to satisfy his demands, to attract the others, andto interact with those around himself. Literature creates exactly the same environment for the English learner. Hismain focus is on how to interact with the situation he encounters, and through this interaction, he develops hisknowledge of English.
