초록

This paper presents a case of implementing the Extensive Reading (ER) program and establishing an English library for the purpose of ER in running the English language courses at a university in Korea. The purpose of using ER program and English library is to encourage students to read as many books as possible and improve their English ability to become competent in English use. ER program has not been used commonly in university curriculum, let alone English library. Thus, it is intended in this paper that a pioneering implementation of ER program using young adult literature through English library will shed light on the idea of using literature in English teaching and learning and on the English education in general at a university level in Korea. ER can be defined as reading in great amounts for the purpose of a general understanding of the text or for the enjoyment of reading experience. ER has been beneficial for not only children learning their native language but adult second language learners, especially when considering the limited amount of input exposure of the Korean learners of English who encounter English for periods of only 150-200 minutes a week. The leisure time reading of English language books is an excellent means of increasing their exposure to English. To encourage students to read as much as possible, the most important component of ER program is easy access to a library containing titles that meet the readers’ interests and reading levels. For the successful implementation of the ER program, the existence of the English library is indispensable. In this paper, the use of English library at a particular university in Korea is specifically focused for its introduction.
