Abstract
This study examines the implementation of an extensive reading (ER) program in a Japanese language classroom at Yuan Ze University, Taiwan. Initially, in 2007, Yuan Ze University launched its ER outside the classroom. However, its implementation faced some challenges, which limited its effectiveness. In 2024, the authors introduced an in-class ER program involving 52 students. Based on students’ course evaluation survey, the in-class ER was appreciated. However, some students found the materials too easy and felt the program was obligatory. To enhance effectiveness, the authors recommend visualising the effects on ER and providing students with information on how to select an appropriate book.
