Abstract
The authors implemented an extensive reading activity in an online Japanese course with two participants in Thailand. They read graded readers written in Japanese and logged the day of the reading activity, the book title, their reading time, and comments on the book. Their comments demonstrated the possibility of implementing online extensive reading activities. The authors found that extensive reading activities increased their fluency in reading Japanese, the feasibility of online extensive reading because of the availability of Japanese extensive reading online materials, and the necessity of assessment to motivate participants to read autonomously. The authors suggested the feasibility of implementing extensive reading in a hybrid class as a future issue.
