Description

This study explores Japanese university students' perceptions of extensive reading (ER) through four new ER activities. After participating, students completed a survey to assess their motivation, engagement, and reading habits. Findings show that most students had positive responses, with improvements in their reading habits and greater engagement. The study highlights the importance of monitoring methods, such as tracking word count and keeping a reading log, to further enhance motivation and support sustained reading development.
