Conclusion
Three important instructional implications can be drawn from the findings of the study. First, literature circles can be incorporated into intensive reading programs that focus on both knowledge building and language awareness. The findings suggest that the use of this instructional method engages students in reading as meaning making and dialogic activity that helps students develop their reading ability and language repertoire. To optimize this meaning-making task, reading teachers can assign and rotate roles that students can play. Third, teachers can use a variety of multimodal texts so that students can discuss different dimensions of texts, such as genres, lexico-grammatical points, discourse-semantic meanings, visual grammar, and the relationship between verbal language and visual language. To conclude, the adoption of literature circles in the VE reading lessons definitely encourages student engagement and empowerment. The present study has showed how literature circles worked in intensive reading programs. I acknowledge that a more complete picture of the enactment of literature circles in both extensive and intensive reading programs could be provided in future studies. For example, an experimental study may be conducted to look at to what extent literature circle-oriented extensive and intensive reading programs impact on students’ reading fluency and achievement. A qualitative case study may also be undertaken to investigate in what ways different types of teacher scaffolding and peer support in literature circle-based extensive and intensive reading instruction help students become competent and engaged readers. There is an urgent need for investigating the use of literature circles in both intensive and extensive reading programs in the EFL/ EAL context. These future research agendas aim to document more empirical evidence regarding the use of literature circle-oriented reading programs in different educational contexts in general and in other ELT contexts in particular.
