Japanese students are believed to have a declining affinity for reading books these days. However, it goes without saying that the skill of reading is essential when studying. This paper aims to clarify the reading activities of undergraduate overseas students. Hence, we conducted a questionnaire survey among 219 students and follow-up interviews with some of the students. We set up 22 questions, such as the time of day spent reading, the number of books read in a month, the reading field, the use of e-books, and so on. In the interviews, we surveyed which languages students read in, how they use e-books, and so on.
