Abstract

This qualitative study explores the implementation of literature circles on student engagement in reading. Literature circles are collaborative learning approaches where students read the same book and participate in group discussions to share their understanding and opinions about the literary work. The research design employed a qualitative methodology, specifically narrative inquiry, to gain insights into the participants’ experiences and perspectives. The study was conducted at a private university in Banjarmasin, Indonesia, with participants consisting of four students majoring in English education who had previous experience with literature circles. Data was collected through interviews, allowing for an in-depth exploration of the students’ engagement in reading through literature circles. Thematic analysis was utilized to identify patterns and themes within the interview data. The result of the study indicates that literature circles have a positive result on student engagement in reading. Through active participation in group discussions, students develop critical thinking skills, improve reading comprehension, and enhance their ability to articulate their thoughts and ideas. The collaborative nature of literature circles fosters a supportive and inclusive learning environment, where students learn from each other and build upon their collective knowledge.
