ER in this study was employed as a supplementary reading activity where students ere engaged to read in a large number of materials on a wide range of topics and they had freedom to select the reading material based on its relevance to their interests, knowledge, and experience (Day & Bamford, 2002). Relating the characteristics of ER, it seemed to us that students understanding of the text through ER activity should be scrutinized as one important aspect in English language teaching (ELT). in order to get more comprehensive picture, questionnaires were distributed to 38 students in the class. Yet, only 3 (three) students were willing to return the questionnaire and to be interviewed based on their answers in the quasionnaire. The findings revealed that ER is evidenced to motivate students to approach texts critically, challenge taken knowledge, relate the text to world's issues, improve their awareness of how to see and understand human beings, and question the intention of the texts from distinct viewpoints."

ABSTRACT

English reading comprehension is a very important skill to be acquired by Indonesian students. Indonesian students of all levels would experience English exams including English reading comprehension tests either in national school exams or in university admission exams. However, English reading comprehension has long been a problem for many Indonesian students, especially for high school students. Implementing a Free Voluntary Reading FVR program is one way to enhance English reading comprehension for Indonesian students. This study aims to investigate two types of FVR, in school free reading ISFR and self reported free reading SRFR , which involves using the Extensive Reading Central website. The results show that ISFR is more effective in improving students rsquo English reading comprehension. Questionnaires were distributed to both classes to investigate the students rsquo perception towards the two types of FVR programs. The results show that students from both classes have positive perception towards the program they participated in. Thus, FVR can be a worthy teaching method to promote students rsquo reading comprehension."
