Abstract

This study aimed to determine the way and to what extent the reading activities with the reading circle improve the students' reading comprehension skills, vocabulary banks, and their reading skills while learning a new language. The research was planned among 16 volunteer students from the 6th grade of Ishik Brayaty Primary School in Erbil. In the study, the students were asked to choose a literary work to read, and to make the study more productive, the students participating in the research were asked to take the same task with a friend of their choice. Thus, 8 groups were formed. Afterwards, they were asked to discuss their responsibilities with other friends at different meetings. Each student fulfilled his/her own task and opened the discussion at the next meeting. After the end of the readings, the results of the students were evaluated with the exams. At the end of the study, the first observed point is that students' deciding what to read increases their motivation. Afterward, it was a motivating feature for each student to take some responsibility for the story they read and to discuss them in different meetings, which supported their self-confidence. The second observed point is that students benefit from the reading process in many ways if the principles required by the reading circle method are fulfilled. In addition, according to the different test results obtained, it was seen that the students remembered the story they read more clearly and read it successfully. Therefore, it has been determined that students benefit from the reading process in many ways if the principles required by the reading circle method are fulfilled.
