概要 Language learners have been shown to benefit greatly from reading large amounts of the target language, especially when it is graded so that the syntax and lexis are at a level that is easy for them to comprehend. The presenter’s research has shown, however, that undergraduates and high school students enrolled in required Extensive Reading (ER) programs are not reading directly in English much of the time, but are translating into their L1 occasionally, or even sentence by sentence. The research data include quantitative analyses of surveys of over 2,500 Japanese undergraduate and high school students, combined with qualitative data based on interviews and analyses of ER texts with 30 Japanese university students and 40 junior and senior high school students. The presenter outlined the reasons why students often translate into their L1and invited discussion based on the experiences of the participants.
