Reading for Pleasure

By miftachudin arjuna - March 09, 2015

This term is usually used in the academic field or classes. Reading for pleasure is an additional reading activity which based on personal interest. Thus the main focus is merely having fun instead of academic activity. Implicitly there is also knowledge within as the final result.  This kind of learning is very effective to improve vocabulary and learn the writer's view point.

Indonesian students usually have a problem with English text book because they have 2 kinds of problem. Formerly it is concerning with the language it self such structure and vocabulary, and later it is dealt with the culture or usually called as reading context. The main issue for Indonesian students it that they read English text books using Indonesian perspective and culture such as

  • I think you do not like it (custom Indonesian students' writing)
  • I do not think you like it (English textbook)
There are many other examples concerned with that issue in Indonesia. Apparently, reading for pleasure will help students to understand English text book better and improve their writing skill.
