The purpose of this paper was to investigate the benefits extensive reading can bring to non-major students and lectures at Hochiminh City University of Food Industry (HUFI). The study addressed a main research question and two sub-research questions related to extensive reading: How does extensive reading develop students’ reading comprehension and improve vocabulary at Hochiminh City University of Food Industry? Two sub-research questions: To what extent could extensive reading help to enhance students’ reading skill? The participants of this study were non-major students at HUFI in Vietnam. The research instruments used in this study to collect data were three main instruments, namely Reading Tests (including Pre-Reading Test and Post-Reading Test), Questionnaire, and Interview. The result of data analysis revealed a significant difference. The findings suggested that innovating lectures’ teaching methods by extensive reading could help students improve their reading ability, particularly their reading comprehension and vocabulary, by engaging them in a systematic extensive reading program.

And Performance

This study aims to investigate students’ self-regulated learning strategies and English reading comprehension in an ER program. There were 38 students participating in the study. The students were divided into upper and lower level groups according to their English reading comprehension pre-test mean scores. After 10 weeks of ER, findings show that there were significant differences between the students' English reading comprehension pre- and post-test mean scores, especially for the lower level group. Findings from the self-regulated learning interview schedule indicate that students reported frequently using metacognitive and performance regulation strategies. In addition, from the students' verbal protocols of reading, they reported using self-regulated learning strategies in the performance or volitional control phase more often than in the forethought or selfreflection phases. Pedagogical implications are presented and discussed.
