Abstract

This study investigates college students’ perceptions of the implementation of extensive reading as a method to enhance reading fluency in an English as a Foreign Language (EFL) context. Conducted at the English Education Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Islamic University of Kalimantan (UNISKA), the research involved 30 fourth- and sixth-semester students who had prior exposure to reading instruction. Using a quantitative survey design, data were collected through a structured questionnaire consisting of 15 Likert-scale items focused on students’ perceptions, the effectiveness of extensive reading, and classroom implementation. The findings indicate that students hold generally positive attitudes toward extensive reading. They reported improvements in reading speed, vocabulary acquisition, comprehension, and reading stamina. Moreover, students appreciated the autonomy to select their reading materials, which increased their motivation and engagement. The study also highlights the importance of lecturer support and appropriate material selection in ensuring successful implementation. Although some students still face challenges with text comprehension, the overall results confirm that extensive reading is perceived as an effective and enjoyable approach for improving reading fluency.
