This paper introduces one unique extensive reading method incorporated into the curriculum in order to ease such concern. Incorporating an extensive reading class into a curriculum with many administrative constraints has been a challenging endeavor. With compromise and ingenuity, a rather successful program has been developed. Since its incorporation more than ten years ago, the system has had its fair share of favorable reviews as well as criticisms. Having earnestly considered the evaluations, several changes over the years have been made to accommodate the students' and teachers' requests. As an interim report, this paper will show how the program was developed, how it has evolved and will hopefully continue beyond the next decade.}, pages = {1--26}, title = {Extensive reading: ten years and counting}, year = {2005} }
