Abstract

In recent years the support for extensive reading (ER) in English as a second or foreign language (ESL/EFL) programs has been compelling. When practicing extensive
reading, the learner reads a wide variety of texts for pleasure and achieves a general understanding of the content while deciphering unknown words through context. This approach contrasts with intensive reading, a more
traditional approach based on a slow, careful reading of a text, with goals of complete comprehension and the
identification of specific details and information.
