此篇文章為討論在EFL課堂裡益漸強調的廣泛閲讀(extensive reading)中，常被用來做為教科書的文本(例如：分級數的小讀本）， 以及在台灣的大學裡低程度英語學習者遇見的問題(例如：缓慢的 閲讀速度）。並且審視用來提升閲讀速度的技巧以及建議在使用分 級讀本的廣泛閲讀環境下，利用Anderson’s Rate Build Up Procedure ， 也就是 反覆閲 讀為技 巧來增 進能力 。此 篇文章 也解釋 該方法 為使用分級讀本來進行廣泛閲讀的低程度大學生帶來希望，但也 需注意到在實際經驗上，運用此技巧且套用相對學生人數與分級 讀本來驗證該方法有效的證據仍嫌不足。為了調查該方法之闡 述，此篇文章報告以44位低程度的台灣之大學成人學習者為背 景，結果顯示閲讀速度以每分鐘驚人地增加45個字彙。更進一步 的局限與建議都包含在此篇文章裡。

This paper discusses the increased emphasis on extensive reading in EFL classrooms, the texts often used (i.e., graded readers), and a problem Taiwanese low level university English learners have participating (i.e., slow reading speeds). It then surveys techniques used to increase reading speeds and suggests a repeated reading technique that can be used with graded readers in extensive reading environments, Anderson^ Rate Build Up Procedure. The paper explains that this procedure shows promise for use with low level Taiwanese post-secondary learners who engage graded readers for extensive reading but notes that there is still insufficient empirical evidence that employs this application with this population and these texts to support a claim of effectiveness. To investigate such a claim, it reports the results of a study conducted with 44 low level adult learners in a Taiwanese university setting. The results of the study show a mean 45 WPM mean increase. Limitations and suggestions for further research are included.
