This study describes the process of implementing an after-school extensive
reading program for Korean high school students. During a two-year period, the
researcher set up an extensive reading program as an extracurricular activity for
a group of Korean high school students who volunteered to participate in the
program. In addition, the program operated as a teaching practica for MA TESOL
students who were enrolled in the course as partial fulfillment for their MA
degree. In order to practice their teaching skills in an authentic learning
environment, the MA students took on the role of the teachers of the extensive
reading program. The MA students met with the high school students once a
week for approximately eight weeks each semester and guided them with
extensive reading activities based on the weekly reading assignments. Drawing
from the researcher's observations, excerpts from the MA students' online journals
along with excerpts from a semi-structured interview with a high school student
and his mother, this study concludes with implications to consider for
implementing an extensive reading program for Korean high school students.
