| dc.description.abstract | Pleasure reading is defined as the reading that is freely chosen by readers and that they enjoy the reading (Rumbold, 2006). According to Rumbold pleasure reading has many benefits one of which is language acquisition. The world over, teachers of languages, whether first or second, are faced with the task of ensuring that students have good mastery of the language they are learning. Research in language learning has shown that pleasure reading contributes immensely in mastering a language (Garside, 1991; Barasa, 2005; Rumbold, 2006). Therefore, language teachers should use pleasure reading as one of the approaches that should be used in the teaching and learning process. It is, therefore, important that critical analysis of development of pleasure reading is done. This article gives suggestions on development of pleasure reading. | en_US |
