This article describes a Language Development course on a BA in TESL programme at the University of Brunei. The course integrates language and drama activities with literature in a mutually supportive way, in the belief that literature provides advanced language learners with highly motivational material of an incomparably rich nature. The key to unlocking this material lies in encouraging students' response to literature and helping them define the meaning of their response on both an individual and group basis. The aim is to enable students to discover the meaning of texts from within themselves, and to negotiate that meaning as a group, rather than have the meaning imposed from without. The strategies to achieve this will be described with reference to two of the commonest texts in the ESL canon, William Golding's Lord of the Flies and George Orwell's Animal Farm.
