Abstract

ABSTRACTThis preliminary study explores external motivation in L2 extensive reading regarding word-target and pleasure reading. In contrast to the extensive reading principle which discourages the use of assessment to promote pleasure in reading, this study aims to explore how reading targets as one form of assessment is potential to maintain pleasure in reading. This qualitative study was conducted in the Department of Arabic Education at an Islamic private university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Two reading classes for first-year students were observed. The data were collected from observation, interviews, and students’ reading profiles as recorded in XReading, a learning management system supporting students’ reading practice. The results show that the students use the reading target as an external drive to read and XReading allows students to choose the texts according to their preference and within their linguistic capacity, which instills pleasure in reading. The findings also suggest that a periodical goal and regular teacher monitoring will motivate students to sustain their reading progress. ABSTRAKStudi pendahuluan ini mengeksplorasi motivasi eksternal dalam membaca ekstensif dalam bahasa asing, terutama terkait dengan target kata dan kesenangan membaca.

Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif yang dilaksanakan di Prodi Pendidikan Bahasa Arab di salah satu universitas swasta di Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Observasi dilakukan di dua kelas mahasiswa tahun pertama. Data yang dikumpulkan berupa data observasi, interview, profil membaca mahasiswa yang terekam dalam XReading, sebuah learning management system yang digunakan mahasiswa untuk mendukung praktek membaca ekstensif mereka.
