In ER, teachers often need to set goals and deadlines to ensure that their students are reading on a regular basis (O’Sullivan, 2012). To understand how students achieve these goals and provide guidance for future learners, 11 students in an elective extensive reading and listening course were asked to give future students advice on various aspects of meeting weekly targets. The questions, based on Griffith's (2018) strategy framework, focused on planning, resource selection, comprehension monitoring, and motivation maintenance. Findings revealed that perceived effective strategies varied among students. However, many students emphasized selecting books related to their interests and planning when to do the weekly assignments as important for achieving their goals. This presentation will describe the course, discuss highlighted strategies, and conclude with research limitations and future directions. This presentation will be of interest to teachers who are seeking ways to support their learners in achieving their reading goals.
