Mobile-Assisted on Extensive Reading: Students’ Voices
Abstract
As reading starts to lose its popularity for most students, digital reading can
serve as a solution to overcome this problem. The integration of digital
reading and extensive reading practice can be beneficial for language learners.
A number of researchers have conducted the studies on this issue through
different perspectives. The current study mainly focuses on the students’
perception of digital reading in extensive reading practice. The qualitative
approach was employed to obtain the research data. Therefore, series of
questions were addressed to achieve the research objective through an open- ended interview. The result showed that the students have positive attitudes
towards digital reading when they have to read extensively. The practicality,
portability, flexibility, accessibility, and affordancesof e-books helped them to
apply extensive reading successfully. Moreover, extensive reading benefits the
students to develop their reading habit, discover pleasure in reading, as well
as improve other skills in English.
