SKKN Using Extensive Reading to improve teaching reading skill for the 11th graders at Nam Dan 2 High School
In recent years, English has become a language for global communication and has been considered as an effective means of access to scientific and technological development. To meet these requirements, English has been widely taught almost everywhere in Vietnam, not only at all colleges and universities, but also at almost every senior high schools, and English is seen a compulsory subject. In the process of teaching and learning English as a foreign language, reading is regarded as the most significant skill for students to gain the knowledge; Alan contends that “Reading is the most important skill a child can develop, learning to read is an important skill every child must develop to be successful in school” (2011:37). In order to develop reading skill, students have to learn strategies to enhance their vocabulary, their speed of reading, improve their motivation, attitude and proficiency. However, due to some objective and subjective reasons, teaching and learning English in general and teaching and learning reading in particular does not come up to the study aims.
Although teachers always make great effort to provide students with many opportunities to learn and develop their communicative skills, how to teach and learn reading effectively is still a big challenge to both teachers and students at many high schools. As the teachers of foreign language of a high school, we realize that students‟ reading skill is limited which affects the acquisition of their four language skills. It is not easy for teachers to motivate students to take part in the activities of reading skill comfortably in reading lessons. Most of them often feel hesitant and anxious when presenting before class. They do not pay more to their attention to their reading skill. They usually keep silent in reading lessons or they often use mother tongue instead speaking English. Moreover, it is also not enough time for students to complete all tasks in reading activities and the teacher may almost have not enough time for the lectures while students are passive through activities. The authors, therefore, carried out an extensive reading to improve the students‟ reading learning. This study aims to investigate the effects of extensive reading and their attitudes towards the extensive reading. Our teaching experience is titled: “Using Extensive Reading to improve teaching reading skill for the 11th graders at a high school. ”

Although the survey subjects have different evaluation methods, according to the law of large numbers, it can be thought that the majority of opinions agree that all 5 proposed measures are urgency. Measurement 1 which is called “Using Extensive Reading to improve reading skill for students in English” is evaluated with the highest score (741 points, its mean score is 3.72), ranked first. Meanwhile, measure 5: "Encouraging students to use Extensive Reading regularly ” is rated as least necessary with X = 3.64, ranked fifth (5/5). The rest of the measures have average scores respectively from X = 3.68 to X = 3.69. It can be seen that the level of need for the proposed measures is relative, the distance between the mean scores is not too far apart (the difference between X max and X min is 0.03). 4.2.

The mean score of all 5 measures is 3.68 points. The distance between the mean score values is zero too far apart (difference between X max and X min is 0.1). This proves that, although the survey subjects are different in terms of their working positions, the general opinions are relatively consistent. However, going into each specific measure and each specific group of assessors, there are also some differences. That difference is taking place according to the law of forward, the same increase, the same decrease. Measurement 1 and measure 5 named “Using Extensive Reading to improve reading skill for students in English” and “Using Extensive Reading to enhance students’ s positive motivation, attitude in learning English” are the measures with the highest possible level with X = 3.71 points. Measure 4: “Using Extensive Reading to improve students’ reading speed” is the measure with the lowest score with X = 3.61 points, ranked 5/5. The remaining measures are feasible with a mean score of 3.68-3.69 points.
