Hello colleagues, I've long been a fan of Literature Circles, so I'm delighted to announce that we are offering a live event on October 18, 2022 at 3:00 ET with Margaret Kinsley Johnson, which will emphasize the many benefits of using Literature Circles with English learners.
Literature Circles can be a powerful instructional approach to teach language to intermediate and advanced English Learners.This event provides an introduction to Literature Circles featuring testimonials of high-intermediate and advanced English learners and practical suggestions for how to start a Literature Circle, how to find appropriate texts, and how to support student roles. Margaret Kinsley Johnson will offer a brief review of the research which highlights the pedagogical benefits of Literature Circles and share how she has been implementing circles with groups of advanced English learners with great success.
Members, please feel free to post any questions you may have about Literature Circles and share your experience, too!
