Guidelines for extensive reading of ESP texts

The extensive reading procedure assumes that students will not only enjoy reading as a means of enhancing English but will also get into topics of professional interest in the target language. A few other points on the definition of extensive reading should be clarified. Extensive reading is not just another reading subskill such as skimming or scanning. This confuses the whole with its parts. We see extensive reading as a teaching/learning procedure, not a reading subskill. In this course extensive reading is confined to graded materials. Basing on the assumption that the students will be actively using the graded Part 2 of the Manual, extensive reading can be studied more effectively and enjoyably when students use easy material that they can understand and enjoy professionally. Exactly this is (a) an authentic reader, (b) specially written for ESL students; and (c) abridged from authentic texts. Strictly speaking, materials in this category are graded without simplifying the language.
