College and University Fostering Motivation in Avid and Reluctant Readers through XReading more
Sat, Sep 6, 17:55-18:40 Asia/Tokyo
Extensive Reading (ER) has been widely recognized for its benefits in enhancing reading comprehension and motivation. With the growing integration of technology in ER programs, digital reading platforms such as XReading have emerged as valuable tools for engaging learners. While previous research has largely focused on the experiences of highly motivated readers, studies comparing avid and reluctant readers remain scarce. This study explores how XReading can foster Directed Motivational Currents (DMCs) among both reader types, providing insights into factors that influence their engagement with ER. By employing a mixed-methods approach, the study investigates the role of digital reading platforms in sustaining long-term motivation and proposes inclusive strategies to support learners with varying levels of reading commitment. The findings contribute to the ongoing discourse on technology-assisted ER and offer pedagogical implications for designing more effective and inclusive reading programs.
All Levels ERF Graded Reader Writing Consortium: A discussion more
Sat, Sep 6, 16:05-16:50 Asia/Tokyo
The Graded Reader Author Network in Thailand (GRANT) group and the Graded Readers Authors in Indonesia (GRAIN) groups have formed to write graded readers with local sensibilities. The reason for these initiative is that graded readers from the major publishers are often Western-centric and few SE Asia names appear in these book and even fewer deal with issues young SE Asians face. Very few if any local legends, fables and fairy tales are available in a well-structured syllabus. The aim of both groups is to train authors to write graded readers with SE Asian and local sensibilities. Some training has already taken place in Thailand and will take place in Malang, Indonesia on October 6-7th. This is a session for the ERF to discuss and co-ordinate with the GRANT and GRAIN groups and to discuss a range of issues they will face when co-operating in the coming years.
