Abstract

ABSTRACT Extensive reading is one of the reading approaches that can help students in improving their reading skills. The implementation of extensive reading itself has been gaining popularity over the years, and a great number of studies have been conducted to investigate the extensive reading implementation both in secondary and higher education. However, even though most of those studies showed that the implementation of extensive reading has benefited students in terms of improving their reading comprehension, motivation, vocabulary, etc., only a few studies have been conducted to investigate the principles of extensive reading. Therefore, this current study aims to investigate the frequently-used extensive reading principles in a university in Indonesia as well as the benefits and challenges of the implementation through students’ perceptions. This study employed a qualitative design that embraces a case study, and the data were obtained from the eighth-semester students majoring in English Education through interviews and documents (students’ reading logs and materials). The results of this study revealed that the frequently-used extensive reading principles were principle number 3 (learners choose what they want to read), 5 (the purpose of reading is usually related to pleasure, information, and general understanding), 6 (reading is its own reward, 8 (reading is individual and silent), 9 (the teacher orients and guides students), 10 (the teacher is a role model of a reader). Students also reported that they gained benefits in terms of the improvement of their reading comprehension, speed, and motivation, writing skills, grammar knowledge, vocabulary, etc. A number of challenges faced during the extensive reading activity were also found such as having limited vocabulary and grammar knowledge, less consistency in reading, etc. Keywords: benefits, challenges, extensive reading, extensive reading principles, higher education
