Extensive reading involves reading large amounts of material for general understanding rather than close analysis. It aims to promote reading as a habit and create positive attitudes toward reading. Extensive reading exposes students to different types of materials and genres to prepare them for more intensive reading. However, it faces challenges like limited book availability, lack of awareness of its importance, and engaging classroom activities. While often done outside of class, extensive reading has a big impact in developing student literacy and is the beginning of their learning journey. Without extensive reading, students will lack motivation to read which can undermine foreign language learning.
