Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
The implementation of the Literature Component in the new Malaysian syllabus for English Language  provides ample impetus for the promotion of a reading culture and improvement of competence in the  English Language.  Therefore, it is important for ESL students in Malaysia to study literature.  However, this poses problems for most students as a majority of them have not been exposed to any  genre of Literature in their six years of primary education. Thus this study was postulated to  explore whether graphic organizers could be used as a tool in enhancing the learners' comprehension  of literary texts such as a novel.  It also attempts to find out if this teaching strategy could be  utilized in the classroom to promote better comprehension of this literary text. Both the learning  and teaching aspects are essential in this study as there is a wealth of knowledge to be gained  from the proceedings in the classroom. Besides that, this study was conducted over a period of 8  weeks and the information required for this study was obtained through pre-test, post-test and the  learners' questionnaires. The findings indicated that graphic organizers are essential tools to aid  the learners in overcoming these barriers of comprehension. It also indicates that graphic  organizers also help the learners to develop and enhance their thinking skills.
