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.
