THE INFLUENCE OF EXTENSIVE READING ON THE ATTITUDE AND CRITICAL COMPREHENSION OF ENGLISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE STUDENTS 

Author: Lidia Govea Piña

ABSTRACT 

The main purpose of this cuasi-experimental study was to analyze in what way extensive reading influences on the attitude and critical comprehension of short stories in students of English as a foreign language. A sample of 42 students was non randomly chosen out of a population of 63 subjects studying EFL at the Universidad Nacional Experimental “Francisco de Miranda” in Coro, Falcon state, Venezuela. The sample completed two questionnaires, one on attitude towards EFL reading and one on critical comprehension of short stories. Then, the experimental group received a 24 hour program of extensive reading during which each student had to complete a questionnaire on extensive reading after each story read; while the control group was isolated from the independent variable. The results showed that the program promoted positive attitudes towards EFL reading (3,01 vs. 3,66) and increased the critical level of comprehension of short stories (1,87 vs. 2,18), confirming the experimental hypothesis. Extensive reading is recommended as a productive way of improving students’ attitude and comprehension levels. 

 Keywords: extensive reading, attitude towards reading, critical reading comprehension, short stories, English as a foreign language.
