All levels The potential of XReading to boost student’s passion of reading: a case study of an avid reader more
Tue, Aug 8, 14:15-14:50 Asia/Makassar
This case study explores the affordances of a digital reading platform, XReading, in helping Jasmine excel in reading. Jasmine is a freshman at a state university in Malang. The department where she studies, offered Extensive Reading (ER) course as a compulsory part of the curriculum in the first semester. During the 16-week ER course, Jasmine read more than 1,000,000,- words from the website. The initial target for the 2022 cohorts was 120,000 words in a semester. Thus, it is important to understand why Jasmine read more than the expected target words and what had her kept going. A semi-structured interview was done with Jasmine after the class ended. The findings of the present study help teachers of Extensive Reading (ER) programs to shape their classes in such a way that encourage learner autonomy. This presentation also shows how reading in an electronic age affects students’ motivation in a positive manner.
All levels Teachers’ reflections on extensive reading and intensive reading more

The presentation aims at investigating teachers’ reflections through their narratives. Approximately 2000 teachers of language and non-language subjects participated in a nationwide workshop on Extensive Reading and Intensive Reading sponsored by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology. At the end of the workshop, the workshop participants were invited to write reflective notes on their experience attending the workshop. One hundred twenty narratives submitted by the participants were coded for common themes. The analysis revealed that the participants held positive responses to the workshop. Theoretical contents delivered in the workshop convinced teachers of their best teaching practice, enabling them to theorize their practice. Moreover, practical exercises on ER and IR were considered to boost teachers’ confidence to implement ER and reading strategies in the classroom. Participants could also foresee themselves becoming role models of readers for their students. In addition, the participants expected continuing professional development to be provided by the government to help them keep up-to-date with trends in the implementation of ER and IR.
All levels Negotiating beliefs and practices: Dilemmas promoting ER to secondary teachers more
Thu, Aug 10, 13:25-14:00 Asia/Makassar
The study presents facilitators’ reflections of preparing and conducting a 3-day national workshop sponsored by The Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture. The topic was how to implement Extensive and Intensive Reading and targeted to both language and non-language teachers at Junior High School level. The workshop was conducted in a hybrid mode. The participants were EFL university lecturers who are members of an ER association in Indonesia and served as facilitators in the workshop. The data was collected from the participants’ reflection using CARL (context, action, result, and lessons) framework. The findings revealed a gap between facilitators’ beliefs of ideal practices of ER and the workshop implementation. Some emerging themes in the findings included lowering expectations, negotiating values, and anticipating changes when preparing and delivering the workshop. The findings also implied that a short-term workshop is not sufficient in increasing teachers' awareness of and competence in conducting ER. Continuing professional development in the area of ER and maintaining sustainable commitment of policy makers and facilitators are necessary to ensure ER implementation. The results of the study were expected to enlighten policy makers, teachers, and ER practitioners of ER practices and promotions.
