Notwithstanding the substantiated role of "interaction" in the facilitation of enterprise of language learning, receptive skills, especially reading, the exclusive concern of this study, does not seem to have convincingly benefited from the interactional and collaborative potentialities as increasingly advocated by constructivists. The current dissertation is, in fact, an attempt to translate the hypothetical tenets of social constructivism into practice via its down-to-earth instantiations of scaffolded learning within groupwork and in the framework of juxtaposition of expert and novice. Subscribing to the "indeterminate" and "phenomenological" nature of human verbal transactions in general, and subjectivities of the reader and author in particular, we hypothesized that hermeneutical and phenomenological nature of passage interpretation on the part of group readers in the collaboratively-designed activities of our study could create "affordances",Van Lier's (2000) term, or "interactional opportunities" which are psycholinguisticly and developmentally valuable crucibles for "negotiated interaction" and subsequently enhancement of reading comprehension. To this end, 24 randomly-selected intermediate-level English learners, having been divided into two homogeneous scaffolded (experimental) and non-scaffolded (control) groups, were subjected to 15 half-an-hour- timeperiod reading activities during the semester. Whereas the non-scaffolded group proceeded individually as they had done in their previous conventional reading classrooms, the scaffolded group orientated themselves towards text interactively. First, they read the passages for themselves. Afterwards they publicized their reading comprehensional and rhetorical problems, discussed the difficulties with each other, and wrote a joint summary. Not to mention that the four 3-people groups in the scaffolded group incidentally happened to include an expert .Such expert-novice juxtaposition has been well supported by Vvgotsky and his disciples believing in the scaffolded learning and within the ZPD of learners. At the end of the treatment provision period a post-test (unseen text) was administered. Their reading proficiency level at pretest and posttest were compared. The data obtained were addressed at two stages, i.e., descriptive and inferential. Basically in order to guarantee the "commensurability" of theories (compatibility of our constructivist teaching method with research method and performance measurement) as proposed by Thomas Kuhn(1970),the data were analyzed at the level of descriptive statistics(qualitative).Also, some institutional considerations and requirements compelled us to address the data using inferential statistics as well. (Wilcoxon Match Pairs Signed Ranks Test was employed). The results indicated that collaboratively-performed reading activities enhance the reading ability of the readers, particularly "poor" readers. This reading ability enhancement encompasses linguistic, sociocultural and metacognitive competences. The results seem to be of relevance and help for pedagogic purposes in the setting of Iranian L2 classroom.
