Vocabulary Learning through Extensive Reading Implementation

This study aims to investigate the implementation of Extensive Reading (ER) and the vocabulary learning that occurs within ER. It was implemented in a public senior high school located in West Java. A case study was employed to address the research questions. The data were collected from observations, interviews, and a focus group discussion. The results revealed that the teacher referred to ER guidelines from ERF when applying ER. Some ER principles were also used. With experience in ER, the students recognized that ER increased their interest in reading because the books they read were engaging, with illustrated stories. When students had difficulty comprehending the sentences, the pictures on each page helped them understand the story. In the reading process, students found some unfamiliar words. Their vocabulary was developed by searching for the meaning of words on the internet and understanding the contexts.
