Extensive Reading (ER) is widely considered to be a useful pedagogic activity, with Maley (2005: 354) claiming that ‘extensive reading is the single most effective way to improve language proficiency’. It therefore seems extraordinary that despite the benefits it provides, ER has often found itself to be the road less travelled in English language courses. However, interest in ER appears to be growing, in no small part due to the work of the Extensive Reading Foundation (www.erfoundation. org), a not-for-profit, charitable organization set up with the purpose of supporting and promoting ER. The foundation organized the very first Extensive Reading World Congress in Kyoto in 2011, with the second one scheduled to take place in Seoul in 2013.
