Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the grammatical changes in
reading performance over time. In this e-book-based study, 13 high school students
were given twelve weeks of instruction and provided with online e-book reading
materials. To assess students’ grammatical changes in reading performance over
time, an online book report was employed, and post-reading activities were conducted
in class which included group discussion, short report-writing, or re-telling. The
result showed that grammatical changes in reading performance have been identified
in that students were able to write in more detail about their thoughts and to fully
express the summary, plot and the story as well as to describe the books’ characters,
places and events successfully. This study proves that an e-book reading or teaching
English with an e-book can be of benefit to EFL learners.
