Abstract

One of the ways of target language input can be accessed by reading texts in the target language itself. It is undeniable that by reading, learners can achieve not only the vocabularies, but also the grammar of the target language. Therefore, reading in the target language is necessary as students can observe various grammatical patterns of used in the texts. As one of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is to offer the opportunities for lifelong learning, it is important for teachers to encourage students to read English texts extensively so they can do self-learning in their lives. The purpose of this study is to show the perceptions of Indonesian university students of the use of extensive reading activities in their English Grammar class. The data were gained from 34 Indonesian private-university students in Grammar class in Indonesia who submitted a learning log each week that reflected their reading progress. To collect the data, an online questionnaire through Google Form was distributed at the end of the semester. The questionnaires result was analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. The results indicated the positive and negative opinion regarding the students’ perceptions on the use of extensive reading in Grammar class. By implementing extensive reading activities in English Grammar class, the students’ grammar competence is hoped to develop naturally as they have been exposed to extensive reading.
