The Effects of Reading Instruction on Recreational Reading Behaviors and Attitudes of EFL Learners
Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 11
Abstract
This study tackles the question of whether reading instruction has any effect on recreational reading attitudes and behaviors of EFL learners. The study used a recreational reading questionnaire as a pre-and post-test for three groups of students who were taking a reading course at their second year undergraduate studies at Ishik University. The course aimed to enhance students’ comprehension and fluency skills in reading. The same questionnaire was utilized both at the beginning and at the end of the course to see the changes in attitudes and behaviors of students towards recreational reading. It was found that as EFL learners were significantly exposed to reading instruction, they developed positive behaviors and attitudes towards recreational reading.
