Extensive reading(ER) is becoming more and more popular in Japan. A few years ago many people agreed it was a good idea to have students do ER. Now, ER Guru Rob Waring, calls ER “a completely indispensable part of any language program, if not all language programs” (Waring, 2006). The speakers for this presentation agreed.
This presentation started with a brief introduction to ER before showing how ER is done at Kaisei Academy in Tokyo. The presentation then went on to show the nuts and bolts of setting up a programme and how to get the most out of existing programmes.
