The Effects of Extensive Reading on the Attitudes of Turkish Efl Learners toward L2 Reading
Öz
The important role extensive reading plays in developing the linguistic skills and
world knowledge of the learners has been emphasized by researchers. Although extensive
reading, by itself, is not sufficient for the development of fluent reading comprehension
abilities, such abilities cannot be developed without extensive reading. However, learners
in foreign language settings, like Turkey, generally do little reading in English beyond
course requirements. The present study discusses the effects of an alternative reading
program, namely a combination of intensive reading with guided extensive reading, on the
attitudes of Turkish university level learners of English as a Foreign Language (EFL)
towards reading.
Key Words: Language learning, extensive reading, attitudes towards reading in
