Description
Summary:<p>This qualitative experimental study examines the utilisation of an Extensive Reading</p><p>Programme from the perspective of ESL students reader response. It seeks to examine</p><p>the kind of written responses produced by the mediocre and low proficiency ESL</p><p>students based on the Reader Response Approach, the outcome of using Reader</p><p>Response Approach in the Extensive Reading Programme and the experiences of the</p><p>ESL students towards the Extensive Reading Programme. The study was conducted</p><p>for a duration of three months in a secondary school in Teluk Intan. The participants</p><p>of this study included an ESL teacher and six Form 4 students, comprising three</p><p>females and three males. The researcher documented data through four sources:</p><p>classroom observations, interviews with the teacher and students, response journals</p><p>and examination marks. Findings indicated that the Extensive Reading Programme</p><p>and the use of Reader Response Approach not only enabled the students to come up</p><p>with various statements but also benefited in their language development. The findings</p><p>of the study suggests that Extensive Reading Programme and Reader Response should</p><p>be a part of the curriculum in Malaysian secondary schools as they help in improving</p><p>students language proficiency. The study proposes a guideline for the implementation</p><p>of an Extensive Reading Programme and Reader Response in the language classroom</p><p>which can be adopted by the ESL educators.</p>
