Abstract
This study investigated the implementation of EFL Extensive Reading tasks and materials for Thai vocational students over ten weeks. Fifty-one students took the Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) reading test before and after the implementation. Quantitative data were collected through the TOEIC reading test and extensive reading motivation questionnaire. The TOEIC reading test was used to investigate students’ reading while the extensive reading motivation questionnaire was used to explore their motivation towards EFL Extensive Reading. Qualitative data were derived from the open-ended questions as part of the extensive reading motivation questionnaire. The results showed significant reading improvement and students reported positive motivation for the implementation of EFL Extensive Reading tasks and materials. Students reported their extrinsic academic compliance at the highest and extrinsic excel to read at the lowest. The study recommended that extensive reading tended to be an effective reading approach to improve reading comprehension, and that it should be integrated into teaching EFL reading for vocational students.
