Abstract

Extensive reading allows students to read large amounts of text which also considered as an effective way to improve students' abilities not only in reading itself but it can also be used to improve other skills in learning English including writing, speaking and other aspects of English. Extensive reading develops reading comprehension, speed of reading, vocabulary, speaking, writing, listening, and almost all language aspects. The implication of this mini research is to contribute to further researchers in the future, especially in online learning contexts. The results of this study are able to provide information to educational institutions that the changes in the digital era should be balanced with the understanding of educators and students about technology itself. The use of ebooks is necessary for online learning systems so it is hoped that publishers and writers would focus more on digital learning products.
