Thu, Aug 10, 14:00-14:35 Asia/Tokyo

The present study explored students’ attitudes towards the Extensive Reading activities in General English courses among non - English majors in Vinh Long province, Vietnam. The method employed was conducted quantitatively by questionnaire. The results revealed that the students had a positive attitude toward reading graded readers and gained more self-confidence in their English communication. These students also showed good performances in the final examination. Moreover, students could be aware of how to choose appropriate books to read and how to use information, vocabulary, and model sentences. They also kept doing the reading process after finishing the English courses. However, some students found difficulties with graded readers without a teacher’s supervision and follow-up activities. The study ended with discussions, pedagogical implication, and research limitations.
