In the realm of second language acquisition (SLA), task-based language teaching (TBLT) and input enhancement (IE) have been the focus of a great number of studies. However, the idea of investigating the effects of focus on form instruction through input-enhanced tasks along with pre-task planning time as one of the features of task-based language teaching has been rarely explored in the field o...

When we read a text, typical sequences of /xations on words form a rather complicated trajectory—almost like a random walk. This complex behaviour is the result of the interplay between lexical processing and programming of saccadic eye movements, the two processes that drive eye movements during reading. Stochastic 5uctuations are present in both subsystems. We use a minimal three-state model ...

This one-group experimental study attempts to investigate the effects of integrating extensive reading, especially integration two main reading skills namely skimming and scanning into lessons on EFL high school students’ performance. The participants were 62 grade-10 students studying in a Mekong Delta, Vietnam. four instruments used collect data included Reading Tests (consisting Pre-test Pos...

The Extensive Reading Foundation’s bibliography now boasts over 530 articles with ‘Extensive Reading’ in the title. About 35% of this rich and diverse body of papers were published in the past decade. A meta-review of this literature shows it is quite fragmented as evidenced by considerable variability in the conceptualization of extensive reading (ER) itself. For example, some researchers sugg...
