Abstract

How to propitiously enhance the reading comprehension of Chinese students in the English as Foreign Language (EFL) environment remains an arduous challenge for numerous Second Language (L2) teachers in senior high schools. The paper analyzes a one-month case study of adopting and implementing Literature Circles (LCs) for an English reading program in a senior-high boarding school in the Hunan province of China. Employing mixed research methods, this study implies that LCs assuredly influence participants’ reading competency in the experimental group. Furthermore, students’ perception of reading (e.g., aptitude, propensities, incentives, and fondness) has substituted positively.
