理系留学生を対象に

抄録

The purpose of this study is to research learners’ beliefs about extensive reading in the Japanese language education. Four participants answered the questionnaire. The results suggested that the participants thought that it is important to do extencive reading activities because they have to read many types of Japanese in their daily and school life. Moreover, we found that they hope that they have a chance to do extensive reading activities during class time. At the same time, this paper will report on extensive reading activity examples outside class hours in our school. It seems that it is difficult for students to keep high a level of motivation. Thus, it is important for teachers to support the notion of having extensive reading activities as voluntary.
