Abstract
This study analyses a post-course survey of 38 students following in-class extensive reading at Yuan Ze University, Taiwan, in 2025. Results show that “the ability to read Japanese is useful” and “selecting books based on interest” received high ratings, while “enjoying reading Japanese” and “reading voluntarily” were rated lower. Statistical analysis confirmed the perception of usefulness in reading Japanese. Cluster analysis indicated three groups: highly engaged, moderately positive or neutral, and those with varied responses by item. These findings suggest that such analyses enable a clearer understanding of students’ attitudes towards extensive reading.
