Abstract

Extensive reading is believed to be beneficial to help students acquire a language. Nevertheless, it is not easy to implement extensive reading, especially in the non-English department. The first constraint is cost because most of the extensive reading strategy uses a grader reader, which is expensive to buy. The second constraint is students’ interest to read printed materials. The third constraint is reading log management. During the pandemic, we are inspired by how to implement extensive reading because we applied online learning. This new experience with online learning expands our insights. This paper aimed to elucidate how to implement extensive reading in the post-pandemic, which is not costly, and inform the strengths and weaknesses of implementing it. The research method used was a narrative inquiry. The authors highlighted prominent aspects during the implementation of extensive reading as the data of the study. The data was analyzed qualitatively. Some recommendations are discussed in conclusion.
