{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Extensive Reading","slug":"extensivereading","podcastDescription":"Why do Extensive Reading?\n\nWhen EFL students read extensively, they become fluent readers. But there is more. Studies have established that EFL students increase their vocabulary and become better writers. We also know that reading extensively helps increase oral fluency—listening and speaking abilities. Finally, students who read a lot develop positive attitudes toward reading and increased motivation to study English. So, there are some excellent reasons for having EFL students reading extensively. \n(Dr Richard R.

They were adult pre-intermediate and intermediate learners of English as a Foreign Language in Barcelona, Spain.

The PowerPoint I was using is here:
