Extensive Reading vs Skills Building in an EFL Context - 0 views
-
Excerpt: Reading has been taught by the translation procedure in EFL situations such as Japan. But today there is a trend towards the use of ESL-type "skills building" text books and procedures and, to a much lesser extent, towards extensive reading. There is a considerable difference between these two procedures, not only for teachers and learners. but aiso for the allocation of institutional resources.

The results suggest that extensive reading may be at least as effective as skills-building. with the important advantage that it is more interesting: for the learners.
