ABSTRACT. This study aims to unearth whether extensive reading can help university students on the development of  
vocabulary. Two research groups - the experimental group who has read more materials chosen by the researchers apart from  
in-class readings (95 minutes for class activities and 40 minutes for extensive reading) over the period of 10 weeks and the  
control group who has absorbed classroom activities only - involved in the experiment. The results, which were collected  
from three methods of test, observation and interview to evaluate the vocabulary gains of the participants, showed that an  
improvement on vocabulary of the both groups was found but the experimental group performed their use of vocabulary  
range in reading, writing, and speaking better than that in the control group.

Extensive reading is; moreover, designed to replicate  
difficulties that students may experience in reading activity  
and materials together with their attitudes towards the  
differences between intensive and extensive reading.  
Furthermore, with extensive reading conducted, it is a  
substantial chance to explore whether the extensive reading  
usage can bring excellent outcomes on glossary  
enhancement to university students. The research is among  
a minor number of studies of applied extensive reading  
occurring at the university level.  
On deliberation of the abovementioned facts the authors  
have attempted to deal with answers to the following two  
research questions:  
1. To what extent can extensive reading be regarded as  
an effective treatment for students’ vocabulary  
enlargement?  
1. INTRODUCTION  
Teaching skills in learning the English language is a great  
art which needs great approaches. It is obvious that gaining  
a certain amount of vocabulary is the most crucial in foreign  
language learning in general and in English in particular. In  
fact, Boutorwick et al. (2019) highlighted that reading and  
vocabulary are reciprocal.  
The author of the article claimed that learners would feel  
less stressed to comprehend the passages in the texts  
because of knowing a lot of vocabulary. If not, the learners  
fail to understand the texts fully.  
Actually, it is the authors’ contention that the  
insufficiency of vocabulary leads to bad outcome of all  
language skills on L2 (second language) learners acceptance  
of L2, for they fail to create L2 successfully. To deal with  
the fact of shortage of vocabulary, the researchers came to a  
daring choice of uniting extensive reading in the current  
curriculum with the expectation of supporting learners’  
vocabulary development efficiently, resulting in better  
communication in four language skills in EFL.  
There are abundant amounts of varied explanations of  
extensive reading (ER) approved by many researchers.  
However, a stimulating summary of ER made by Waring  
and McLean (2015) showed that extensive reading involved  
in the understanding of a large variety of texts with the aim  
of meaning.  
2. What remarkable differences, if any, do extensive  
reading and intensive reading have in the influence on  
students’ vocabulary improvement?

Nation (2015) claims that learners’ vocabulary can be  
absorbed day after day through extensive reading if learners  
have an opportunity to dive in words in various texts.  
Undeniably, he confidently assumes that the unfamiliar  
words become at ease with learners as a result of numerous  
contacts in simplified materials for ages. Through his study,  
we have acquired the way to facilitate our learners in  
indoctrinate tons of words that they have met over and over  
in their reading.  
Hemmati and Asmawi (2015) figured out that the  
acquisition of vocabulary occurred considerably with the  
help of reading the graded reader among Iranian EFL  
learners, A Little Princess. These authors unearthed that the  
participants performed word knowledge of guessing  
meaning from the contexts well.  
Liu and Zhang (2018) concluded that extensive reading  
and intensive reading groups make the same advancement on  
the achievement to comprehend, enhance reading  
promptness and possess essential words. Nevertheless, great  
interests and enthusiasm toward the extensive reading  
activities are shown among the extensive reading partakers  
even though they were required to finish their materials  
(Graded Readers and story books) under the environments of  
time constraints (one term) and the absence of reading  
competences.  
Tan (2016) suggests that vocabulary knowledge can be  
both purposely and incidentally learned via broad reading.  
This paper is unquestionably true to Vietnamese learning  
background, in which language learners are often disposed  
to “engraving” vocabulary by referring to dictionaries  
deliberately rather than examining words thoroughly.  
Chang and Hu (2018) agree that extensive reading permits  
students at a higher competency to gain more vocabulary  
scope and depth than intensive reading usage. Learners at  
minor compacity have a trend to be teacher-dependent in the  
acquisition of lexical items as a result of intensive reading.  
This is obvious why the junior students engaged in this  
research.  
of tricky words.  
Nonetheless, the students showed serious struggles with  
technical lexical items because of the shortage of both  
adequate reading approaches and vocabulary capacity. They  
passively read as a result of scarceness in technical terms in  
readings.  
3.1.2 Significance of the study  
Upon completion, the research is wished to harvest petty  
paybacks in both the teaching and learning of reading in  
particular and four skills in general for some reasons:  
First, the study will be a model addition to inadequate  
suggestions on extensive reading in Vietnam, offering those  
of extensive reading  
who are concerned with the same zone  
with a stimulating perception for the sakes of it and  
considering as a study reference source of reading for  
interested scholars.  
Moreover, the researchers expect to draw attraction from  
other lecturers and the School Board’s consideration to the  
necessity of some more practical activities given to students  
outside the classroom, particularly reading. Students are  
able to be in favor of picking their reading texts, receive  
more useful approaches on reading and captivate the  
benefits of extensive reading. The above decisive evidence  
can grow into good references for the lecturers and the  
School Board so that a few changes on the current syllabus  
of courses or at least on some unnecessary contents of  
reading lessons are officially made.  
Lastly, the authors hopefully believe that extensive  
reading will be a part of learner-centered activity. The  
success of extensive reading, in fact, must be totally reliant  
on students who play the most vital role in the extensive  
additional reading activities due to the fact that they are the  
ones who select what materials to read and how these  
materials are going to be read, leading to the self-awareness  
of prolongation of reading beyon classrooms together with  
traditional classroom study.  
To be more specific view of the above discoveries, the  
authors recognize the common employment of extensive  
reading in assistance of gaining words among ESL and EFL  
learners. Although it is quite tough to find some materials for  
conducting research of reading in Vietnam, the authors  
fortunately found out two studies from Truong (2018) and  
Tran (2018) who are additional supplements of our paper.  
They presume that the terminology development of the  
learners goes well day after day owing to the application of  
extensive the process of teaching and learning language  
skills, especially vocabulary.  
3.1.3 Research procedure  
To maintain the objectivity and  
information for analysis, the research was conducted in  
compliance with the following procedure:  
a multitude of  
Reading materials for the first cycle of an action research  
process  
In addition to the main New Cutting-edge textbook for  
intermediate students prepared by Sarah and Jonathan  
(2017), nine out of forty cautiously-selected genuine  
reading texts extracted from the Vietnam News were used  
as additional texts. These everyday texts perform to provide  
to the students a real chance of language use has never been  
done before, inspiring them to have great enthusiasm in  
reading the texts.  
3. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY  
3.1 Action research  
3.1.1 Rationale  
The researchers are working as permanent lecturers at  
Lac Hong, teaching four skills listening, speaking,  
reading, and writing. In 2019-2020 academic year, they  
were appointed to teach four skills of the communicative  
program for the third-year students of Mechatronics-  
Electronics Faculty majors and they found that most of  
students failed to communicate well in English due to  
vocabulary shortage. It was compulsory for the students to  
read a remarkable number of English texts from their  
learning materials, which was estimated as a huge amount  
Research time-frame  
The 15-week reading unit per semester was set in the  
academic year of 2019-2020 in which the first ten weeks was  
for conducting class research reading sessions; meanwhile,  
the rest five weeks was for revision and learning with  
teacher’s notes on how the results of the research could be  
implemented for further study. In other words, the research  
took place in just 10 weeks of the 15-week course. Details  
were listed as follows:

between two groups. In addition to discovering the answer  
to research question 1, observation of sum-ups and essays  
may support the researchers in searching part of the answers  
to research question 2.  
3.3.3 Interview  
3.2 Participants  
Eight of the participants (four with good marks and the  
rest with bad ones) were requested to take part in the  
interview for the purpose of figuring out the results of  
research question 2. The interview session was recorded and  
interpreted.  
The setting in which the study was conducted is at Lac  
Hong University (LHU), the earliest university in Dong Nai  
Province, Vietnam. In LHU, the non-English major students  
come across many problems with reading skills due to the  
insufficiency of indispensable vocabulary. Accordingly,  
integrating extensive reading in the syllabus serves the  
purpose of assisting students with the improvement of their  
lexical items as well as aid them to deal with reading L2  
materials in terms of less struggle and triumph.  
The participants were 80 third-year non-English major  
students in the academic year of 2019-2020 at Mechatronics-  
Electronics Faculty. The participants are all male students  
aged between 20-22. They were accidentally designated on  
the basis of obtainability and accessibility with forty  
partaking in the experimental group and the rest in the  
control group. No experiential evidence or test results or  
consciousness of their individual vocabulary improvement  
will be taken into thought at the beginning of the experiment.  
All the partakers in the paper are at the intermediate level  
because they become more flexible and teacher-independent  
and receive the benefits of intensive and extensive reading  
(Zimmerman, 1997).  
3.4 Data analysis  
In order to discover the differences between the pre-test  
and post-test scores, a comparison tool is obviously  
necessary. For a trustworthy analysis of the marks from the  
data, Microsoft Office Excel 2016 is the selected technique  
for analyzing. With the hope that the results of the research  
reveal how differently the student’s vocabulary improve  
thanks to extensive reading, computing descriptive statistics  
of content and mechanics has to be processed based on mean,  
standard deviation (SD), t-test. Moreover, the data attained  
by portfolio observation were investigated in terms of  
percentage and clearly presented in table below followed by  
the explanation of the details. Lastly, the data gathered from  
the interview was transcribed and classified into two  
categories: students’ attitudes and purposes.  
4. FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION  
4.1 Findings  
3.3 Data collection instruments  
Data from the tests  
The researchers hold to a strong belief in linking  
quantitative and qualitative methods to guarantee the validity  
and reliability of data collection; therefore, triangulation is  
exploited in action research study because “another way that  
researchers minimize ambiguity in their findings is by using  
triangulation” (Hinchey, 2008, p. 76). In fact, the use of  
triangulation involves in lots of methods to reflect one aspect  
of the research, leading to deeper and more consistent  
understanding on the topic.  
The results gained from the pre-test and post-test scores  
were put into comparison through t-test in order to answer  
research question 1. Table 2 shows the explicit information  
on scores of both groups.

the maximum mark was 10. 50 questions in 4 reading texts  
were made. And the participants had to choose 1 among the  
4 options as the most exact answer to score 0.2 mark. The  
pre-test was given on week 1 of the extensive reading  
conduct and the post-test week 9. A large number of difficult

They also believed that the use of extensive reading  
technique for this semester was really a great action.  
Nonetheless, all of them declared that the lecturers should  
not ask them to read too much and allow them to pick up  
reading materials in accordance with their comforts or  
benefits. And more significantly, Nguyet assumed: “I think  
the lecturers should help us to choose or they can  
recommend reading texts with enough and interesting  
information to keep us interested in reading more materials  
in English”

enlisting the range of vocabulary use in essays with that in  
summaries between the two groups, the control group  
reached about 50% of vocabulary range; meanwhile, the  
experimental group consummated nearly 70%. There was a  
vivid enhancement of vocabulary range on writing  
compositions in the experimental group in comparison with  
that in the control group, leading to uncovering the answer  
to question 1; that is, extensive reading will help learners  
advance their vocabulary knowledge, especially their  
vocabulary range. Also, table 3 assists the researchers to find

came to the conclusion that extensive reading was much

more supportive than intensive one because it was one of the  
best methods in practicing and bettering their English  
language both in their classroom and daily life.  
5. Do you think learners of different purposes will lead  
to different decisions in which method of reading,  
intensive or extensive?  
Time limitation should be taken into consideration as a  
problematic issue of the study. The study was carried out  
over a 10-week period, making the authors stressed to meet  
the school curriculum and generate more novel ideas for the  
experiment concurrently. Furthermore, only nine short

and beyond, the study addressed a small number of partakers  
(80), so forthcoming study with a large number of partakers  
is recommended to authenticate the research discoveries.  
Not many references on vocabulary growth via extensive  
reading were found in Vietnam, creating for the researchers  
a problem of finding resources supporting their ideas on the  
thesis. The authors also spent a lot of time on producing and  
designing extensive reading activities in order to encourage  
students to enjoy.  
4.2 Discussion  
Result summaries  
The data received from the tests and observations have  
shown that extensive reading facilitated students in  
broadening their vocabulary knowledge. It completely  
interconnected with the research findings revealed by  
Hemmati and Asmawi (2015), Liu and Zhang (2018), Tan  
(2016), Chang and Hu (2018), Truong (2018) and Tran  
(2018).

extensive reading with the blending of traditional instruction  
(intensive reading) will be more effective in assisting  
students in widening their vocabulary.  
Implications  
Secondly, lecturers who plan to conduct extensive reading  
in their classroom should let their students have the right to  
select extra reading materials in terms of their desires,  
interests, and heights.  
Thirdly, it is not desirable to request students to complete  
many drills or tests after they finish reading the materials.  
Finally, students should be stimulated to read the texts as  
quickly as possible for over-all understanding as well as  
speed reading enhancement.  
Some strengths of the innovation were found in this study.  
First, both the researchers and their students got benefits  
from the innovation attained by the study. In fact, both the  
researchers and their learners were in need for a new change  
that blows away boring reading lessons owing to an obsolete  
teaching and learning method as well as students’ vocabulary  
shortage.  
Second, an outward design and rationale set at the  
beginning together with a free collection of texts make the  
partakers available with great opportunities to have the best  
comparison of intensive reading and extensive reading.  
Third, the learners found the summarizing activities
