Students' Reading Preferences and Reflections: From Pleasure to Meaningful
Keywords:

Reading can be challenging for Gen-Z students, particularly in the post-COVID-19 era where learning processes remain constrained. To enhance the learning process and its outcome, a survey was conducted to investigate students’ preferences and reflections on reading courses. Ninety-nine Indonesian college students participated in this study. This study revealed students’ preferences for reading activities, including their favoured book genres and resources. Additionally, this study highlighted the need to integrate enjoyable reading experiences with the development of critical reading skills to ensure students can effectively engage with texts beyond mere question-answering exercises.
