Experimental study showed improvements in reading comprehension and positive attitudes in EFL learners, suggesting valuable curriculum integration.
This study investigates the effects of extensive reading (ER) on reading comprehension and learners’ attitudes in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts. Sixty intermediate-level Uzbek EFL learners were divided into an experimental group that participated in a structured extensive reading program, and a control group that continued traditional reading instruction. Data were collected through pre- and post-tests, attitude questionnaires, and classroom observations over an 8-week period. Findings revealed that students exposed to ER showed significant improvement in reading comprehension and developed more positive attitudes toward reading in English. The study concludes that incorporating ER into EFL curricula can effectively enhance both linguistic and affective outcomes.
