| Abstract | The study examined the improvement of EFL Thai undergraduates’ reading comprehension through extensive reading andinvestigated the enhancement of EFL Thai undergraduate students’ motivation towards extensive reading in English. Onehundred and nine Thai non-English major undergraduates participated in the study over ten weeks. Quantitative data were col-lected through the pre- and post-reading comprehension tests and pre-and post-Motivation for Reading questionnaires. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to get qualitative data. The results revealed that there was a significant enhancement inboth EFL Thai undergraduates’ reading comprehension and reading motivation after implementing extensive reading. The find-ings suggested that extensive reading is an effective method for EFL students in improving their reading abilities, particularlytheir reading comprehension skills. Therefore, extensive reading should be promoted in English classrooms. |
