What could the data obtained from this study suggest about the effect of an
extensive reading pedagogy for English L2 students? Based on previous studies as
referenced throughout Chapter 1, the researcher expected, at best, some improvement of
posttest scores over pretest scores on the test instrument used to take the measurement,
for the group of participants receiving the extensive reading treatment. As revealed
through the collection of qualitative data through personal interviews, the participant who
apparently did the most English L2 reading was Saudi Arabian male 2, a participant from
the comparison group. Saudi Arabian male 2 read authentic English L1 text on the
Internet for approximately four hours each night, on his own initiative. This participant
also achieved the greatest posttest over pretest gain and the highest posttest score overall.
Thus, this individual represents a single case study example of a correlation between
reading extensively and improved performance on a standardized test of English L2
reading comprehension.
