  4. Our working definition of "extensive reading" as a language teaching/learning procedure is that it is reading of large quantities of material or long texts; for global or general understanding; with the intention of obtaining pleasure from the text… reading is individualized, with students choosing the books they want to read, the books are not discussed in class.
