This paper reports on the introduction and implementation of an Extensive Reading (ER) program in Stream 4 of the English for Liberal Arts (ELA) course. The program was piloted in the Spring term of the 2014 Academic Year during the Reading and Writing (R&W1) class: a supplemental class for the Academic Reading and Writing course (ARW), one of the main academic courses taken by all students in the ELA. This report provides a background to the implementation of the ER program, including a rationale, a review of ER literature, and an overview of the approach taken. It summarizes quantitative and qualitative data collected from both teachers and students during the pilot project. It concludes with suggestions for future program implementation.
