Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
This study investigates the effectiveness of literature circles in assisting English as a second language (ESL) students to develop comprehension of the story in a graphic novel compared to a non-graphic novel. It also aims to examine the effectiveness of using role sheets in literature circles and identify the comprehension strategies produced by the students that effectively develop their comprehension of the texts. The conceptual framework of this study was based on constructivism. Case study method was employed and data were gathered from direct observations and interviews regarding the students’ participation in literature circles. The participants in this study were six form four students. The findings of this study showed that the students comprehended the graphic and non-graphic novels differently in literature circles and they implemented comprehension strategies to comprehend the texts. In addition, the data from the interviews highlighted the importance of role sheets in guiding the students in literature circles. The findings from direct observations and interviews also revealed that literature circles developed the students’ interactions, motivation and responsibilities, encouraged sharing of personal responses and improved the students’ comprehension of the stories in graphic and non-graphic novels. In conclusion, literature circles assist students to comprehend stories in graphic and non-graphic novels. This study provides insight to ESL teachers to implement literature circles in the classroom to help students in comprehending graphic and non-graphic novels.
