Summary/Abstract: University students at an advanced or proficiency level of English can benefit greatly from exposure to a kind of instruction which not only offers more variety and deeper involvement in terms of reading and writing skills development but also taps into students’ own creative and critical potential of interpreting an authentic text. I have tried to achieve this through a more extensive reading practice programme, which can be implemented with an eager class as part of regular general English university classes. I have created a lesson plan based on The Black Cat by Edgar Allan Poe, which was the starting point in my attempt to develop extensive reading.
