This paper aims to explore pedagogical strategies EFL teachers use to actively boost English oral discussions between Korean university students in English reading classes. EFL reading classes are dominated by decoding and reading comprehension activities, while neglecting discussion. Previous research suggested strong interconnectedness between reading and speaking skills, yet, until now, there is a lack of research on how to promote effective oral discussions in English reading classes. This paper analyzes seven teachers’ pedagogical interventions to encourage students’ oral discussion in English. Interestingly, the interventions utilized by the teachers turned out to be efficiently effective in helping students personalize reading materials by bringing in their personal experiences. The teachers also provided critical analysis discussion activities to encourage students to think about the reading texts from multiple perspectives. Lastly, they designed creative discussion activities that extend on reading texts. These were effective as students’ own words were used in discussion, and students’ own creative use of English was incorporated. Educational implications have been suggested.
