Unit 8 extensive reading
This document discusses extensive reading (ER), which is an approach to second language reading where learners read easy, enjoyable books to build reading speed and fluency rather than studying vocabulary and grammar. There are various types of ER, including "purist ER" involving massive amounts of self-selected reading with no tests or follow up work, and "integrated ER" where reading is part of an existing class with possible follow up activities. The benefits of ER include increased vocabulary, improved understanding of grammar from seeing it used in context, and developing reading fluency and speed. Examples of ER include reading magazines, novels, fiction, and fairytales.
Benefits of extensive reading
Extensive reading provides numerous benefits according to research. It allows students to become readers by reading large quantities of easy books that they select themselves. As students read more, they become better readers with improved vocabulary, listening, speaking and writing skills. Reading fluency increases as students practice reading texts they enjoy. Students also find reading to be an engaging experience that is informative rather than frustrating when they can choose their own reading materials.

Language learners in Japanese secondary and tertiary educational contexts are often cycled through course and classroom regimes emphasizing accuracy and precision, but often with constraints that prevent fluency to develop, and no contexts for fluency to expand as is. This presentation explores the capability of latent learner creativity in areas such as art, music, and L1 written capacity as sources that learners could draw from to reappraise, individualize, and explore assignments in two key L2 output tasks - presentation and written composition - that could enable greater heartfelt engagement with such assignments and expand output beyond where learners may previously have achieved. When creativity in such assignments can be channeled though contextualization such as web-based presentation display upload and compositional publication, learners may be capable of some extraordinary breakthroughs in language capacity as well as greater motivation and orientation to language learning.
