Personal insight of the three approaches

1. Traditional Approach - This approach typically involves the development and communication of clear
rules about acceptable and unacceptable behaviour, and reasonable consequences for breaking the rules.
 These consequences generally involve punishment of the student who is considered responsible for the
bullying behaviour.

2. Language-Based Approach - Language Based Approach Language Based Approach is one of the
method of teaching literature in English that used literary text for the specific drills design to build the
languages skills rather than focusing on the literary skills.

3. Reader-Response Approach - The reader response approach is heavily reader-oriented. Readers use
their prior knowledge and experiences to give meaning to a text, and they are required to justify their
unique interpretations of a text with textual evidence.
