초록

This paper presents a case study of a class using Extensive Reading (ER)program implemented in an English language course at a university in Korea for the purpose of enhancing the four English skills of the Korean learners of English. The purpose of using ER program 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, although it is believed as an effective way to improve students' English ability. Thus, it is intended in this paper to introduce a reading class conducted in English using ER program, in which students were strongly encouraged to read, write and speak both at home and in class. 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 use English only in a classroom environment. Students who took an ER course reported in this paper read four books as required class texts and three or four books as self-selected books during a semester. They wrote response journals after finishing reading done with silent reading and listening to audio books and had a conversation with other students based on their response journals, by which students practiced the four English skills in a course. Students reported through a survey that their English ability improved through the class and showed changes of their recognition of different English skills after taking the class compared to before taking it.
