About
I've been teaching English in Senda since 1988 and working with extensive reading since 1995. This year, I'm especially thankful for Marc Helgesen, who got me started with ER and was a constant source of encouragement and inspiration through the decades.Sessions
All Levels The ERF Graded Reader List: Past, Present & Future more
The ERF Graded Reader List is an online database featuring English graded readers from over 30 major publishers. Data for each book include publisher, series, word count, headwords, level (publisher, CEFR), genre, format, awards, etc. The main database consists of a separate Google Sheets file for each publisher. A companion, all-in-one list includes a limited set of data for all books in one searchable Google Sheets file, viewable on mobile devices. This presentation will provide an overview of the history and features of the List, as well as thoughts on continuing development. Discussion will focus on how the list might be improved, particularly on ways in which current technology could enhance its usefulness and functionality for educators and learners.
