About
I work as a senior lecturer in English at the English Department, SFL of MUST. I mostly teach English for Specific Purposes to students majoring in Business Administration, social sciences, and IT. TEFL is my main research field. Therefore, the doctorate degree (Ph.D.) was focused on English teaching methodology. Also, I am keen on neuroscience too.Sessions

The speakers tried to improve students’ English knowledge by using the ER approach. Therefore, they implemented an Extensive Reading Project involving 72 students of the Mongolian University of Science and Technology with the help of the XReading.com platform. This project lasted for two months from March to May. The presenters have raised the hypotheses whether the extensive reading approach has improved the students' English speaking skills and enriched their vocabulary or not. The participants have been asked to read the suggested books so that it was easy to maintain understanding during the discussion. The most essential part of this project was a club held once a week by the lecturers with the purpose of discussing and debating what the participants read. Pre- and post- tests were variables used to identify the effects of the ER method. Finally, the data taken from the tests was processed with SPSS program. Outcomes of the study will be indicated in details using authentic source materials.
