This is one of <br />the  reasons  why  a  substantial  extensive  reading  program  is  an  important  part  of  an  English <br />course.  Extensive  reading  requires  the  learners  to  do  large quantities  of  reading  using  material <br />that  is  at  the  right  level  for  them.  Vocabulary  learning  occurs  through  the  conditions  of <br />repetition,  retrieval,  creative  use,  and  deliberate  attention.  These  conditions  can  be  maximized <br />when reading through the use of narrow reading, repeated reading, linked skills reading, reading <br />with  discussion,  and  deliberate  learning  through  reading  with  exercises.  Computer-based <br />activities can be effective in  providing opportunities for deliberate learning, but it is important <br />that deliberate learning does not take time away from extensive reading. https://are.ui.ac.ir/article_15481_455aa60c0cbda93a33517647aac5d399.pdf
