영문 초록

Extensive reading can motivate learners to read more books and it can be expected to improve speaking and listening as well as reading through various social interactions before, during, and after reading. This research aimed to find out how the elementary school students perceived extensive reading and how extensive reading had an influence on their English language learning. Targeting 6 elementary school students, qualitative research was conducted. The results obtained from the data are as follows. First, the participants perceived extensive reading as the means to increase their vocabulary and to reconfirm their grammar. Second, through extensive reading the students aimed to build up their vocabulary and to learn grammar rather than to understand what the reading texts say. Lastly, it revealed that the role of parents and teachers was important in that they could observe, guide, and motivate their children to read more books in extensive reading which requires a lot of time and efforts. It will transform extensive reading into an interesting and pleasant activity, not a difficult and burdensome one.
