AB - This study investigated the effects of extensive reading (ER) on Korean high school students’ English reading ability. This study also explored how the students perceived ER and ER program activities in school settings. Three high schools that have run different ER programs were recruited for this study. One hundred seventy high school students from the three schools participated in this study. This study mainly employed a quantitative research method; that is, research data included pre- and post-English reading comprehension test scores and survey responses. For the data analysis, a paired-samples t-test, a one-way ANOVA, and a Kruskal-Wallis test were employed. The findings of this study revealed that ER was effective on improving the students’ English reading ability. With respect to school differences, the extensive reading program of E school was statistically significant while the other schools’ ER programs were not. In terms of comparing two different extensive reading programs － an extracurricular-based program and a curriculum-based program － the extracurricular-based extensive reading program was more effective than the curriculum- based extensive reading program in the high school setting. In addition, most of the students showed positive attitudes and motivation toward ER; especially the advanced learners showed the most positive attitudes toward ER followed by the intermediates and beginners. The findings are discussed and implications for pedagogy are suggested.
