The Extensive reading has been drawing increasing attention from L2 educators as a potentially effective form of L2 reading instruction. However, some researchers argue that it is not easy to observe the benefits of extensive reading in the short term. The present study was motivated by the need to elucidate the differential effects of extensive reading on different aspects of foreign/second language ability, some of which may improve more quickly than others. The Quantitative research did in this study to know the effect between two variables into English Proficiency of Informatics program. Extensive reading ability and beginner also intermediate vocabulary level of students was examined. Improvement from was found to be significant for extensive reading ability, and vocabulary acquisition. The results suggest that the effects of extensive reading might be manifested more quickly in L2 proficiency with intermediate vocabulary level, at least for adult L2 learners. The data from the measurement of L2 Proficiency from the group who is given extensive reading shows that the mean score intermediate vocabulary acquisition (?A1B1= 113,4) is higher that the beginner vocabulary acquisition ( 1 2 ?A B = 91,1). On the other hand, from the group who is not given extensive reading shows that intermediate vocabulary acquisition ( 2 1 ?A B = 92,8) is lower than beginner vocabulary acquisition ( 2 2 ?A B = 100,4). The data shows that the students who have intermediate vocabulary acquisition have higher L2 Proficiency if they get extensive reading exposure. Possible reasons for this difference in the progress of different aspects of L2 ability are discussed.
