Abstract

This study examines the English reading habits and online activities of Saudi English language university students, the types of reading they undertake and potential reasons for their lack of reading. A questionnaire was used to collect data for this study as the primary tool for quantitative research. To evaluate the impact of the Saudi College of Arts and Science at Tabarjal, Jouf University on Saudi EFL university students, a self-administered online questionnaire was distributed to an online sample of 158 Saudi EFL university students. In free time, students read textbooks and online articles most often. In addition, students reported spending more than six hours online using social media apps. This study recommends to provide more reading resources at the institution to promote reading among students.

沙特大学英语学生阅读和上网习惯与兴趣调查
本研究考察了沙特英语大学学生的英语阅读习惯和在线活动,他们所进行的阅读类型以及他们缺乏阅读的潜在原因。本研究采用问卷调查收集资料,作为定量研究的主要工具。为了评估Jouf大学Tabarjal的沙特文理学院对沙特英语大学生的影响,我们向在线抽样的158名沙特英语大学生分发了一份自我管理的在线问卷。在空闲时间,学生们最常阅读课本和在线文章。此外,学生们报告说,他们花在社交媒体应用程序上的时间超过6个小时。本研究建议在学校提供更多的阅读资源,以促进学生的阅读。
