Abstract
Much research has been conducted on reading and writing skills for ESL/EFL in Japan, but little research on using book reports as a valid activity and use for evaluation. A study by Takase (2007) on a year-long program showed students who were originally interested in reading in their native languages were also interested in reading in another language, but here was no link to an increased interest in reading in another language. It is hoped that motivational aspects on students may be found throughout the study, including an increased interest in paragraph writing and reading in ESL/EFL.
