The action research project was conducted through the implementation of a reading project in a Japanese national university elective reading course offered for medical freshman for the purpose of examining ways to remotivate non-English major freshmen for further English learning. The selected reading material for the instruction was a 311 page novel, Flowers for Algernon, written by Daniel Keys in 1959. There were three pedagogical goals for this project. First, that learners realize how they can utilize their current English ability for one of the true purposes of language learning (not just for gaining high test scores), the communication of ideas. Second, that learners gain the confidence to realize that by utilizing their current English capability in combination with structured activity, they can become autonomous readers of English. Third, that these realizations motivate students for further English learning. This project is centered on developing reading skills; however, multiple skill development activities were tailored for scaffolding learners' engagement with the text.
