In contrast, in recent years, teachers and researchers have come to recognize the advantages of extensive reading, which involves students choosing a longer piece of reading that is comfortable for them to read and of interest to them, and reading it for pleasure or information. Researchers have found that through extensive reading, students can both improve their reading proficiency and develop other skills in the target language. In this paper, I discuss differences between intensive and extensive reading, look at the effects of extensive reading, and consider issues related to setting up an extensive reading assignment. I also suggest activities that teachers can use in the classroom., 研究ノート}, pages = {139--150}, title = {Setting Up and Carrying Out an Extensive Reading Assignment}, volume = {55}, year = {2020} }
