Implementing a reading programme for college students has always been a challenge as getting students motivated to read requires consideration from many aspects. This collaborative project investigates the similarities and differences of the reading habit between 18-19 year old urban college students from intact classes in Indonesia and Malaysia. Two same multiple-choice questionnaires, one for Indonesia and the other for Malaysia, were created on google forms and sent to 30 college students in Indonesia and Malaysia respectively. The responses from the 13 questions in the questionnaire are used to compare the reading habit and motivating factors to read for these 60 students. The insight gained can assist course coordinators to organise, implement and monitor reading programmes more effectively.
All levels Interactive flipbook extensive reading- from peers to peers more

Implementing extensive reading can be a challenge for both teachers and students. Teachers realise students are reluctant to read and discuss the story while students procrastinate and are not motivated to read. One solution is to encourage students to create a narrative and convert it into a flipbook for their peers to read. A flipbook offers a page-turning user experience and can be read in a linear fashion. Students work together in small groups on tasks as in script writers, illustrators, design-idea contributors, flipbook converter and promoters. Free digital technology applications such as Canva, Google form and E-certificate are incorporated by using flipbook applications. The project by a group of 15 students who are 17 years-old, produced flipbooks. Data on motivation to read, interest in themes and specific language competency was compiled through observations by the teacher and students completing a short questionnaire. The results highlight insights for teachers and publishers on ER materials. Moreover, the flipbook project integrated various skills and incorporated technological tools in an interactive, meaningful, and exciting extensive reading experience. It also enhanced a student-centred pedagogical approach facilitated by a teacher.
