Abstract

Leiszia, Ingke. 2025. Exploring Students’ Perspectives on Extensive and Intensive Reading Methods to Enhance Reading Skill. Skripsi, English Education Department Faculty of Languages and Arts Education, IKIP PGRI Bojonegoro, Pembimbing (I) Dr. Ima Isnaini Taufiqur Rohmah, M.Pd. (II) Ayu Fitrianingsih, M.Pd. Keywords: Students’ Perspectives, Extensive Reading, Intensif Reading, Reading Skill. Reading skill is one of the important aspects of English language learning that plays a major role in supporting students' vocabulary acquisition, text understanding, and critical thinking skill. However, many students still experience difficulties in understanding English reading texts, both in terms of content and language structure. This shows the need for the right approach or strategy in learning to read. One of the efforts that can be made is by using extensive reading and intensive reading methods. Both methods can be used in the learning process to help students develop their reading skill more effectively and diversely according to the learning needs. This study aims to explore students' perspectives on the use of both methods in enhancing their reading skill. This research used a qualitative case study approach or method. The results show that both reading methods can enhance students' reading skill. Extensive reading provides relatively little enhancement in reading skill, especially in enriching vocabulary and reading fluency. Meanwhile, the intensive reading method provides a more thorough reading enhancement, including in-depth understanding of the text, analytical ability, and answering questions in detail. The conclusion of this study is that using extensive and intensive reading methods together can provide more effective results in enhancing students' reading skill.
