Extensive Reading for Non-Native Students

For many non-native students, reading extensively in a foreign language is obviously very challenging and it needs special effort as well as determination to do so. Many students believe that extensive reading can help them improve their language proficiency, nevertheless it is extremely difficult to put it in practice because of several problems. Most students encounter the difficulty of understanding English text. In addition, many schools also did not provide different varieties of English literary book. Encouraging students to read extensively in and outside of the classroom setting is undoubtedly one of the teachers main duty. Teachers try to implement different types of approach to reach their goals in making the extensive reading program practicable, for instance by using either web-based stories or paper books stories. In our opinion, there are several ways to make extensive reading for non-native students workable in and out of the classroom. Those ways are as follows, provide students with many different types of reading materials, reading material must be easy and suitable for their level, let students to have the freedom to choose whatever they want to read and interest them.
