College and University From Pages to Habits: Student’s Journey in an Extensive Reading Course more
Sat, Sep 6, 15:10-15:55 Asia/Tokyo
The study examines the impact of an Extensive Reading (ER) program for first-year English Department students at a tertiary education institution in Indonesia. Research has found that developing independent reading habits is crucial in foreign language learning, yet many first-year English department students struggle to transition from required reading to self-directed reading for pleasure. To address this challenge, ER is integrated into the curriculum as a compulsory course for first-year English department students. The case study investigates how a one-semester ER course influences the reading habits and experiences of a cohort of first-year students. It examines data from 150 students, using ER self-reflection reports, reading history logs from the digital platform Xreading, and interviews to gain information on the evolution of the student's reading habits. The expected findings will reveal patterns in their reading habits, challenges they encounter, and the role of the digital reading platform in shaping their experiences.
