Literature focus units are designed around a featured selection of books that every student should read. The tutor teaches, drawing parallels between current events in students’ lives and giving examples of how the conclusions from the book can be used in real life. Since texts can be interpreted in different ways, the method is used to develop thinking skills (Singh et al., 2020). The teacher’s assessment of the students’ work is conducted in the form of an analysis of the oral, written, and visual components of their language activity.
Literature circles are organized in the format of small groups with a discussion guide who follows the conversation during the meeting so that the talk keeps on task. In the course of the work, the teacher assigns a special role to students’ independence since it is important to arouse interest in individual study (Mamadaliev et al., 2020). The assessment is made by the teacher, who gives a lecture on the selected books and monitors the participation of each member in the discussion, and evaluates them according to the role that was given to each student.
Depending on the schedule, reading and writing workshops are organized together or separately. In the workshops, real reading of self-selected works is designed, and after that, real writing of analysis and reinterpretation for a genuine purpose and a specific audience is conducted. (Tompkins, 2015). In such a manner, the teacher manages them, focusing on independent writing and reading skills. During the assessment, the teacher also divides the student’s requirements depending on the course’s complexity, even when all groups are working on the same book.
Thematic units are developed in the form of reading, keeping learning logs, creating a visual representation, and thematic projects. During the lesson, the teacher instills in the students the ability to apply the language art according to the selected thematic block. In addition to the active role of students in evaluating the work of themselves and other members, the teacher monitors the progress of the work during logging and presentations.
