“…In addition to the massive studies on reading skills and strategies already in the literature, much attention has also been paid to the effectiveness/ benefits of extensive reading. The growing amount of research supporting the use of extensive reading includes studies concerning young learners (Juan & Cheng, 2008;Nishino, 2007;Williams, 2007), adult learners (Greenberg et al, 2006;Renandya et al, 1999), vocabulary building (Horst, 2005;Kweon & Kim, 2008;Pigada & Schmitt, 2006;Modirkhamene & Gowrki, 2011;Tran, 2006), reading habits (Asraf & Ahmad, 2003;Lemmer, 2010), reading speed and comprehension (Bell, 2001;He, 2014;Taguchi, et al, 2004), writing performance (Mason & Krashen, 1997), and reading ability (Meng, 2009;Robb & Susser, 1989;Sheu, 2004;Yamashita, 2008). Significantly, there is also a substantial number of studies stressing students' positive attitudes (Camiciottoli, 2001;Johanson, 2012;Shen, 2008;Stoeckel et al, 2012) and motivations (Apple, 2005;Takase, 2007) towards the extensive reading process after the treatment.…”
