The participants for this study were fourth-year undergraduate students enrolled in the Teacher Education
Program at a private university in Japan. As part of their seminar work, the students read articles describing
the benefits of extensive reading (ER) and the process of implementing an ER program. They also read
articles describing relevant research studies focusing on ER. After six weeks of lessons, with each lesson
focusing on a different article, the teacher trainees participated in an ER lesson as students. Their assignment
for this portion of the seminar was to share their thoughts on ER, specifically ER’s viability within the

Japanese context. The data were collected through the use of a questionnaire containing a series of open-
ended questions. Each question represents a research question for this study. The research questions elicited

the teacher trainees’ opinions on the following issues: ER’s viability within the Japanese context; ER’s viability
for low-level learners; the perceived weaknesses and strengths of ER; possible approaches for incorporating
ER into junior high school or high school English classes; ER and student motivation; and whether they plan
to use ER in the future. The results indicated the trainees were mostly concerned with ER’s viability for low
level learners.
