IMPLEMENTING LITERATURE CIRCLES IN YOUR ESL CLASSROOM

9/12/2020

 
Imagine if literature circles could be used in your English as Second Language (ESL) classroom as a means of assisting your students learn English. And why would one want to do this, you might ask? For starters, think about all the benefits they add to language learning in a mainstream classroom as they provide students with opportunities to work on all four language skills:
Using Literature Circles in Your ESL Classroom
Speaking Opportunities:
  • Class read-alouds
  • Small group discussions
  • Sharing thoughts and opinions

Listening  Opportunities:
  • Listening to the book being read aloud
  • Listening to peers during small group discussions
  • Listening to thoughts and opinions shared with the class

Writing Opportunities:
  • Assigned worksheets and activities
  • Assigned projects

Reading Opportunities:
  • Reading to oneself, to a small group or to the class
  • Assigned reading comprehension questions and activities
  • Assigned vocabulary building questions and activities
With these benefits in mind, the only question that remains is, how would one modify and implement a literature circles program so that it works for one’s ESL learners? You as a teacher need not worry about this because we have already taken care of it for you, beginning with reading resources. Our selection of free online ESL eBooks are divided into three levels to meet your classroom needs: beginner, intermediate and advanced. Once a selected thematic English eBook is chosen, all that remains is using the literature circles worksheets associated with the book from one of the packages below.
