vocabulary, teachers should promote extensive reading for the students that may

benefit to their writing performance. Moreover, teachers should provide a wide

range of reading materials that would cater their comprehensiveness.

2. Since the result showed progress of the respondents in the post-course test,

teachers should give emphasis on Extensive reading so as to let the students be

motivated and have broader knowledge on each category.

3. Given that the effect of the relationship is significant, teachers should be open to

the students’ area of competitiveness especially in reading needs and mental

capacities that would cater their ideas. Extensive reading should be employed for
a longer period of time so as to assure the full improvement in the writing

performance. Students must be given the freedom to choose on what to read for

them have more scope for following their own interests. This in turn reduces

teacher control and further encourages learning to occur outside class.
