 note = {This research paper investigates whether participation in an extensive
reading program could cause reduction in negative attitudes towards
reading in English among first year university students at a university
in Japan. From 2017, extensive reading became a unified component
of compulsory English classes for all students in all faculties and
departments. Students were expected to complete 30,000 words worth
of reading（ approximately 200 minutes） using graded readers over each
semester. There was a wide range of initial ability/motivation levels of
students, variation in class content across faculties etc., and 60,000 words
was not thought a sufficient amount to cause measurable change in the
actual English abilities of students such as accuracy, vocabulary and
language processing with a sufficient degree of reliability and validity.
Therefore, the researchers decided to focus on the emotional aspects
（affective factors） of the extensive reading program. Students were
asked to answer an identical questionnaire at three different times
regarding their attitudes to reading in English, at the beginning and end
of the first semester, and at the end of the second semester. The change
in responses over the three questionnaires indicated that over the
course of two semesters, negative attitudes towards reading in English
slightly decreased overall. Statistical analysis of the results indicates that
participating in an extensive reading program has the potential to lower
the affective filter of students who are reluctant to read in English, and
hopefully lead to positive attitudinal change towards English study in the
long term.},
