This presentation reports the positive impacts made by online extensive reading on 14 adult learners of English. The participants who were advanced learners conducted extensive reading on Xreading for one year. The participants’ transformation from unconfident L2 readers to avid, engaged L2 readers is demonstrated by various data: their journal entries, comments given during five individual interviews, records kept on Xreading, and pre-/post-project metaphors that reflected their perceptions towards L2 reading. Specifically, seven participants read more than one million words and all of their metaphors shifted from negative to positive orientation. Furthermore, the participants made statistically significant gains in reading rates (p < .005) and vocabulary sizes (p < .0005). This presentation reports in detail, the factors that created such positive outcomes. They include the support given by the researcher, the successful routinization of L2 reading, and the Xreading factor such as the easy access to abundant intriguing graded readers.
