<![CDATA[AbstractThis paper examines and reports on an EFL literature course design and instruction. The researcher believed that EFL Literature Circles instruction in practice is an issue worthy of concern. A new teaching plan was designed to motivate students in practising reading literary texts and implementing activities. The plan consisted of assigning learners with various reading activities to literary genres that were done in groups and presented in the classroom. Qualitative and quantitative methods were used in this study. Based on the data obtained from classroom observations, students’ classroom presentations, focus group interview; students’ response to a questionnaire and a post-questionnaire of (30 students), the researcher found out that students developed a fairly high degree of motivation towards practising literary reading. The results of the study also indicated that the students were motivated; the course was conducive to students’ language awareness and acquisition and contributed to students’ literary growth. Learning literature through literature circles gave more freedom to learners to take risks, learn by themselves and profit from their mates without resorting to teachers in most cases. (184 words)]]>
