概要 In this paper, the authors describe a methodology for assessing the effectiveness of scaffolding as evidenced by discourse produced in EFL Literature Circles. Pre-intermediate and advanced learners in a Japanese university English program, who were surveyed and recruited, exhibited similar motivational profiles. These learners read and discussed different stories at appropriate levels. Based on patterns in the resulting discourse, recommended objectives and scaffolding techniques for teaching literature discussion to pre-intermediate learners include using topical routines, encouraging shared leadership, and helping learners summarize series of key details and describe stated relationships. Advanced participants demonstrated an ability to discuss all 5 elements of story. Recommended objectives for advanced learners include selecting texts with more complex elements and using scaffolds that necessitate more elaborate inferential learner analysis.
