Intensive reading focuses on specific language aspects like vocabulary and grammar, but may not engage students at their level. Extensive reading allows students to read more for enjoyment at their own pace and level, building reading skills and confidence. The author explains benefits and challenges of both, and how teachers can identify student abilities to incorporate the most effective reading types into their classrooms.

    News Report : A Blended Extensive Reading and

    Intensive Reading Activity

    Dung Thi Thanh Do

    In this journal, Dung Thi Thanh Do analyse a blended Extensive Reading and

    Intensive Reading activity in school. Ding Thi Thanh Do explain the important,

    challenges, materials, methods, the way applying in classroom and teachers’

    role in implement these types of reading among students.

    In this journal, writer explain the different benefits of reading types that

    choose by teacher to students. The advantages of Intensive Reading is that it

    focuses the leaner on certain aspects of the language such as structure,

    vocabulary, idiom, grammar points focus on specific comprehensive. The

    teaching aids, methods and materials are choose by teachers. Intensive

    Reading introduce new language items to the students and provides a base

    for students to develop a greater control of a language. Students who prefer

    to intensive reading may read a short text and helps students to develop

    reading skill, vocabulary and grammar knowledge. They able to detailed

    meaning from the text and good in linguistics components. The disadvantages

    of Intensive Reading is students may not able to read at their own level

    because everyone in the class is reading the same material. Moreover, it


    cause the materials are chosen by the teacher. Furthermore, this Intensive

    reading for students might be boring or difficult to understand the reading.

    Besides, exercise and assessment usually follow intensive reading, students

    may come to associate reading with testing and not pleasure.

    In this journal, the writer explain the advantages of Extensive Reading is

    reader is intensely involved in looking inside the text, students focuses on

    linguistic or semantic details of a reading, students focuses, on surface

    structure details such as grammar and discourse makers, students also

    identify the key vocabulary, students may draw pictures to aid them and able

    to build more language knowledge rather than simply practice the skill of

    reading. Extensive Reading is good for language development, allow students

    to meet the language in its natural context and see how it works in extended

    discourse beyond the language met in textbooks, new vocabulary and

    grammar points may be acquired, facilitate a deep understanding and this kind

    of reading builds confidence, motivation, enjoyment and also a love of reading

    which makes students more effective language users. The challenges of

    Extensive reading is students are advised to choose texts within their

    language proficiency level, it can be very time-consuming for teachers to read

    each students’ journals and reports and students faced problem in to know

    the proper way to learn.

    I surely can say that the writer also explain more confidently regarding the

    material and methods practicing Intensive Reading and Extensive Reading.


    Students read to get information and increase their knowledge and to enjoy

    reading, create a reading habit anyway. Students choose materials which are

    of their interest and within or slightly beyond their English proficiency from

    free online sources. This research successfully apply in classroom in Vietnam.

    The result shows three students make a short presentation on the news they

    have read. They were successfully summarize the text and give their

    viewpoints on the topics. Students who more to Intensive Reading do not

    have to answer some questions related to the topic which is given by

    teacher, but Extensive Readers can making a short presentation and knew

    being responsible for their own learning and reading for themselves is not

    applicable.

    I can simplify that this journal is the best answer and explanation to

    everyone in order to understand the differences between Intensive Reading

    and Extensive Reading. Teachers should identify the ability of their students

    in reading part to introduce them the reading types which suitable for their

    ability. And the materials are most important thing to students to reading and

    understanding.
