Literature circles are a fun and engaging way for learners to explore fiction, but can they be used equally well in content-based courses? In this presentation/workshop the presenter will describe how to set up a content-based discussion circle, give participants hands-on experience, and describe the preliminary results of research he is undertaking in this area.
