Impact of reading on
students’ writing ability. In Materials of International Practical Internet Conference
“Challenges of Science (Vol. 144, No. 2, pp. 5-13).
Atayeva article talks about the impact of reading on college students by surveying 52
master EFL students at Universitas Ahmad Dahlan in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Two
questionnaires were held as an instrument to collect data, the results provided that
reading habit had a profound effect on college students' academic writing skill.
Nonetheless, the number of students was too limited. It would be more generalizable if
they questioned undergraduates in addition to MA students.This article could be used to
help establish the positive impact of reading.

This research supports the effectiveness of adopting E-readers to facilitate EFL students’ process
based academic writing. The experiment was held in the graduate level class entitled “Technical
and Scientific English Writing” in a northern Taiwan university for the entire semester, about 5
months. The results indicated that e-readers affected the process of reading, annotation, and
information retrieval with the unique functions. Still, the study should have been more generalized
and test another group of students on the effect of intensive and different type of reading. This
article can be related on the first one as they both support the idea of reading on academic
writing. By using this research it would help improve the effectiveness of reading on writing skills
among students.

EFL Students. Pertanika Journal of Social Sciences & Humanities, 23(4).
This article examined the impact of incorporating reading in efforts to improve the writing skills of
EFL students where five Iranian students, studying in an international school in Malaysia, were
purposively chosen.Two instruments were used: a compiled genre-specific corpus as the main
tool to evaluate the participants’ level of proficiency in writing and two semi-structured interviews
as supplementary instruments to obtain EFL participants’ perspectives on the effect of reading on
the development of writing skills. The study came up that the participants’ writing skills had
significantly improved by integrating reading in writing tasks. Though it should have examined
more students among undergraduates and postgraduates.This article can be related to the
previous ones by giving more evidence on the impact of reading on academic writing. By
providing this study it would enhance the impact of reading on academic writing and it would
encourage more students to read.
