[摘要] :
Graded readers are widely used in English as a foreign language
programs, but we have little information about whether students
find them interesting. In this study, 14 to 16 year old students of
English as a foreign language in Taiwan were asked to evaluate the
readers they had read. Overall, 41% found the books to be
interesting, and 24% did not, but only 4% strongly agreed that the
books were interesting. This is an encouraging result, but if our
goal is to help students find truly compelling reading material, we
will have to look elsewhere for additional reading material.
Keywords: Graded readers, English as a foreign language,
reading material.
