抄録	An extensive reading (ER) component of an academic skills course for first year university Japanese L2 English readers is introduced. The rationale for ER is given: students can enhance their general reading skills, including reading speed and global comprehension, as well as improve word recognition automaticity. Course design draws on Nation’s (2007) Four Strands for language development. Formative course evaluation is carried out to investigate: whether the main attributes of ER are met, and to what extent students benefit from ER. Data collection includes: word counts to determine amount of ER accomplished; timed reading scores to determine reading speed improvement; baseline vocabulary level testing; and student feedback. Preliminary data analysis indicates: a large amount of reading accomplished by participants; a significant increase in reading speeds; and a positive response to the course from students. The paper concludes with a few directions for future course evaluation.
