What is EXTENSIVE READING, and why (and how) should you do it? 

1. Read a lot, often, fast (up to 3 hours) 2. Read at your level (easy reading) 3. You decide what to read 4. Read wide variety 5. Read for pleasure 6. Read alone and quietly 7. You are the boss (not your teacher, he/she is a guide)

I really agree that extensive reading helps to improve our fluency and vocabulary, so important for us as teachers who are not native speakers but need to be good models in our classes

If you put the video at 1.25x speed, that is exactly how fast the average person speaks

Useful session about extensive reading -Dr Virenkumar Pandya BDK ARTS AND COMMERCE COLLEGE GADHADA

Thank you! There's so detailed. I heard many poins before here and there and you put it together.

Hi, Teacher! I like audiobooks but you absolutely right about reading extensively only, without audio.

Of course people need to read it loudly. The english is exactly and sound language. Read it with correct sounds will decide the language journey whether successful.

Excelent recomendations☺Thank you a lot ! Extensive reading is easy to apply.

Hello Sensei, I think your advice in this video is very good. I also admire your American English accent. It is very good. I would add one thing: the importance of spending a small amount of time reading aloud. The sounds of a foreign language are very difficult. I am trying to teach my wife how to speak Spanish, a language I learned as a child along with English. I am constantly impressed with how difficult it is to pronounce a foreign language. It's like tongue twisters. But patiently attempting to spend maybe 10 or 15 minutes a day reading aloud should also be practiced. I agree with what you are saying about extensive reading in general.

good session

Good after noon dear professor ! Thanks a lot for your super lesson . Frankly , super lesson .... Welcome if possible , welcome to Morocco....

Really reading is passion.

As an English teacher and a language learner (spanish) I use reading a lot. One thing I noticed was that if I read a passage and didn't understand it but read it again and then again, by the third reading it came to me. Weird but awesome feeling. In my English class (10/11 year olds native spanish speakers) we started reading one short story each week but we read it over again every day. The first day we read and discuss the ideas but with each reading we read it quicker and then by the end of the week. Day 4 infact the kids take it in turns to read out loud. On day 5 we do a dicatation of the previous weeks reading that they spend the week preparing. The dictation is just a hope that they will spend a few minutes each day reading the short passage. It is certainly having an impact though I've only been doing it for about 5 weeks since classes more or less resumed. Why repeat the same story? When I used to read to my son whose native language was spanish not english he would request the same story each night and never got bored. My 10 year olds don't seem to get bored by this daily repetition and it makes for a good routine.

Information video

Super

good

I like your video! I tried to read your blog, but didn't see Japanese translation for your posts. Can you make sure about that? Thanks!

nice video

Hi, Morksensei! Hope you are feeling better now. I wish you good health. I got a second jab by Sputnik V a week ago. Hope everything will be ok. By the way, I recommend using the printed version of the book and the computer version of the same book. Combination. This is good for our brain to use such a combination. Our brain like it. It may sound strange at first sight. Plus audio version at some stage.

I read on my Kindle so looking up a word is easy.

When you do extensive reading, you should not be looking up words unless it's absolutely necessary... However, what about languages such as Japanese? Even if I can guess the meaning of the word based on the kanji and the context, I still have to look it up to know the reading (and pitch accent) of that word... So always feel like I should look it up.

I'm an English speaker but I study a lot of languages so your video showed up in my feed. I know extensive reading has been around for a long time but now we have e-books and apps to help us read and you can lookup a word by just tapping on it. Would you still suggest not using a dictionary for e-books?

Hi ! I cannot understand english text if I read fast and if I did, I have to repeat the sentence before I contenue. Some videos teachers have advised to read in aloud voice. Please what differece between slow and fast reading ? Thank you so much for your free english courses and ineresting advice !

OK

Please answer from your learning experience. I got a new Spanish book and I can’t read it. How do you read a totally new book. Do you get anybody to read it for you. Or you get it with audio sounds thank you

👍

So many thanks, Im practicing the daily reading for improve my english in general. By the way I love your name

If I read fast I don't understand what I read. Especially, some vocabularies I dont grasp well so it takes time to process the sentence.

👏

Professor, what do you think about reading books while listening to the audiobook corresponding to that text? It’s a recommendation I heard from a language learner who’s a polyglot.

Thank you Sensei! Your video is very useful for me to learn English. Hope you made more videos about how to practice writing in English.

what do you think about reading same books again?

How do I know that I am at the right level to do the extensive reading? For example, I am learning English and have no issue understanding this video, is this enough to begin the extensive reading journey?

Hi, Morksensei! How are you feeling now? I wish you the quickest recovery. Cheslav

Do we read out with our voice or read with our minds without voice in extensive reading?

Am intermediate English level What's should i read Give me recommendations plz?

Hello, Morksensei! What about using text plus audio for EXTENSIVE READING from the very beginning? I enjoy using audio. How to use such a combination better? In what order? How to begin better? Thanks.

Should I read aloud ?

How would you learn the new words when you do not know what does they mean????
