This course is designed to improve students’ English ability through Extensive Reading (ER) activities. ER means completing an extensive amount of reading to learn the English language, especially literary works. The authentic reading materials used in this course are books for young adults, which will be used to improve EFL learners’ speaking and writing ability as well as reading ability. Reading is the most fundamental activity in achieving knowledge and reading literature especially provides an opportunity to form a student into a well-rounded person. This course aims to enhance not only the reading ability but also other language skills.
