Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To select the right materials and volume of tasks and an appropriate teaching method, we need to know our students, particularly their habits and attitudes toward reading. To investigate Japanese university students’ reading habits and attitudes, the present study replicated a study of Crawford Camiciottoli (2001) using the questionnaire of the original study. Ro and Chen (2014) also replicated this study by applying it to participants in an ESL context. In line with the original study, descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis were applied to compare the result with the other two studies. The results indicated that a good “reader” of L1 can make a good learner of L2 reading, and lack of time was the most cited reason limiting extensive reading in all three studies. Similar results were obtained from the two EFL contexts, whereas participants with a positive attitude in an ESL context only tend to read more.
