COMPARISON OF INTENSIVE AND EXTENSIVE READING AND THEIR ROLE IN LANGUAGE ACQUISITION

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this article is to examine the inclusion of the concept
into ELT (English Language Teaching) classes and its impact on the learners’ attitudes
towards reading skills in English. With the introduction of the extensive reading
approach to teaching English and literature in the two classes, there is a need to justify
the reasons for including graded readers into the courses’ curricula. The relevance of
this study is thus more than justified and taking into consideration the latest research
in the field, data collected while teaching the courses, cultural differences as well as
the individual students’ opinions and feelings.
