| 内容記述 | One problem which seems to be characteristic of many typical EFL reading classes is the tendency of students to stop reading books in English (RBE) once the class has finished. This is unfortunate since abundant research suggests that reading books in English could be a potent tool for achieving not only improved reading skills, but overall language abilities as well. (See J. Coady & T. Huckin; Elley, W. B. 1991; Hafiz, F. M. & Tudor, I. 1989; Krashen, S. 1993). The reason students may stop reading may have to do with being overwhelmed with reading material beyond their ability. As Fry (1991, p.8) observes, "Unless motivation is extremely high, the too-difficult (reading) material will cause a loss of comprehension…and an inclination to stop reading." In an attempt to keep students reading, and buoyed by Dickinson's (1995 : 174) comment that extensive reading (ER) leads to "learning success and enhanced motivation, " our school began offering an extensive reading (ER) course three years ago, as an alternative to intensive reading (IR) for first year junior college students. In the short term our ER courses did lead to increased motivation among our students toward both overall English study and RBE. According to surveys, (Burke, 2004), 100% of students felt their overall English skills had improved; felt motivated to continue studying English in general; and claimed they would continue to read books in English (RBE) in the future. The purpose of this paper is to follow-up on students' claims and answer the question : did our Extensive Reading Classes lead to continued reading books in English for these Junior College Students? | |||||
