20220917T1535 20220917T1635 Asia/Ho_Chi_Minh Follow-up activities for Extensive Reading Programme

Extensive reading (ER) has been proven its positive and sustainable impacts on learners' language development. The ready availability of online websites provides fruitful authentic English resources for different EFL learners. However, few language teachers have full awareness of the nature and potential relevance of ER. An integrated ER programme was designed in tandem with the topics of the syllabus and with speaking. The study aims at defining ER, providing some reasons for using it in language teaching, and illustrating some follow-up activities. It also provides some guidelines and pedagogical suggestions for both language teachers and learners which are necessary to fully exploit ER to facilitate autonomous learning in which learners can play the roles of independent learners. Finally, some implications of using these activities in language teaching are also addressed.
