The use of literary texts from various sources to teach reading at Indonesian Islam-affiliated university was still under research. This study offered a contextually-relevant and culturally-sensitive reading instructional model for such particular university which sought to blend western, Indonesian, and Islamic cultures in harmony. The model was developed through studying relevant literature and research findings, designing a model, field testing the model, and revising the model. This research involved the feedback and suggestion for improvement from three experts, five practitioners, and thirty-three students so as to emphasize the local voice in developing the reading instructional model. The findings revealed that the developed model should include such components as philosophy, input, process, and output with an adequate elaboration of each. In implementing the developed model, teachers should utilize literary text from western, Indonesian, and Islamic traditions. They should also emphasize the Indonesian culture and Islamic tradition aspects without losing their sight the international orientation of the English language teaching. © 2019, Eskisehir Osmangazi University.
