Extensive Reading and Listening in the L2 Classroom
Renandya, Willy A.; Jacobs, George M.
Online Submission
This chapter first looks at Extensive Reading and Extensive Listening separately, highlighting the language learning benefits of the two approaches to language learning. It then discusses ways of implementing the two together in input-poor L2 contexts where the quantity and quality of the target language input tends to be severely limited. In these situations, the main source of input comes from the classroom teachers and the coursebooks, which, while useful, tends to have limited impact on L2 learning. By implementing both approaches, L2 learners could be exposed to far richer and greater quantity of language input, which in turn would have a more pronounced salutary effect on their L2 learning.
