The present study aims to portray the practices from the teachers and students’ point of view. Ninety six of first-year students participated in this study. The instruments were teacher’s field note and questionnaire. The collected data were then analyzed thematically. This study reveals that most students perceived positively towards the integrative-post reading activities.
