This research used the instruments adapted from Daniel (2022) about the roles of literature circles and the interactions from Guiller, Durndell, and Ross (2007) to analyze the group discussion. The finding of this research shows the students were engaged in online literature circles. Each group performs interactive discussions. Furthermore, each group member plays their role in accordance with the task description. Therefore, in this Covid-19 era, online literature circles are good to do in online classes. In addition, the lecturers are able to join the group discussion, and the presence of lecturers will provide motivation where the class will be more critical.","PeriodicalId":232120,"journal":{"name":"SALEE: Study of Applied Linguistics and English Education","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130162556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Under the massive expansion of foreign language reading anxiety, EFL learners commonly experience a higher level of perturbation while attempting to comprehend the contents forming in their specific reading texts due to the inevitable complexities presented during this process. This current small-scale library study aimed to exhaustively investigate particular effective strategies to overcome foreign language reading anxiety among globalized EFL learners to provide some illuminations for ELT experts, practitioners, and educators to devise more sophisticated reading strategies that can potentially alleviate foreign language reading anxiety. There were three main themes inferred in this present small-scale qualitative study namely: (1) The internalization of more comprehensible reading materials, (2) the promotion of more enjoyable reading circumstances, and (3) the inducement of more relevant reading strategies. For the future betterment of worldwide L2 reading enterprises, second language teachers are strongly commissioned to identify particular situations provoking excessive foreign language reading anxiety among EFL teachers in order to progressively design more authentic and meaningful reading activities.
