Abstract

Numerous studies support extensive reading as beneficial for second language learners, enhancing vocabulary, grammar, writing, and overall English proficiency. However, there is still a small number of research on how this technique influences students' ability to answer reading comprehension questions. Extensive reading and reading comprehension have quite different reading goals. Extensive reading aims to make readers enjoy reading material and can choose reading materials according to the reader's level. Meanwhile, reading comprehension emphasizes students' level of understanding about the details of reading material. This research aims to look at the effect of extensive reading strategies on students' ability to answer reading comprehension questions. The method used in this research is experimental by using “One Group Pretest-Posttest Design”. This design requires to conduct pre-test before implementing the treatment then followed by conducting post-test once it’s done. The results of this study indicated that the extensive reading strategy applied to class A of Islamic Economics Study Program for 1 semester can significantly improve the quality of students' understanding in answering Reading Comprehension questions. This improvement can be seen from the results obtained in the pretest and post-test which have been conducted before and after treatment (Extensive Reading). By conducting the extensive reading it can bolster students' academic scores by cultivating a deep-seated comprehension, vocabulary breadth, and critical thinking skills. Through consistent exposure to diverse texts, students enhance their overall literacy, fostering a solid foundation for improving academic performance

Abstract

This article presents a community service program conducted at SMAN 1 Sajingan Besar, a high school located near the Indonesia–Malaysia border. The program aimed to improve students’ interest and skills in reading English by introducing an easy and enjoyable reading approach. Over two days, students learned the difference between reading for understanding and reading for details, and were trained to use an online tool called MReader to track their reading progress. The program received enthusiastic responses, especially during quiz games and hands-on practice sessions. Students not only became more motivated to read but also learned how to use digital tools in their English learning. The activity helped create a fun and competitive learning environment and gave students practical experience in choosing and completing English books. The program showed that using technology in learning can increase student interest and reading habits. For lasting impact, regular training, better internet access, and more book options are recommended. This program has the potential to become a long-term solution to support literacy in remote border areas.
