This session has two parts. Motivating Learners to Read Extensively Around the World Whilst there is a certain level of agreement on the activities that can be adopted to gain the benefits of extensive reading for language learning, recent discussions among the ERF affiliates have impressed upon us that different approaches are needed when motivating learners to habitually engage in extensive reading in different parts of the world. Therefore, this panel discussion aims to bring together the affiliates to discuss and answer questions related to motivating learners to read extensively in their given context. The session will include other panelists not listed here. Following the panel there will be a general discussion on forming and managing ERF Affiliates

The founder of PERC (Publink Extensive Reading Club). With over 20 years of experience in ELT (English Language Teaching) materials and readers, I have been actively promoting extensive reading since 2013. In 2018, I established the PERC Extensive Reading Teacher Club, which is affiliated with the Extensive Reading Foundation (ERF). My mission has always been to create a platform for academic exchange among English reading educators, to promote both international and domestic graded readers, and to continuously refine more effective learning solutions for young learners in foreign language contexts.
