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
