We are very honored to have this great opportunity to interview Professor Paul Nation for the TEFLIN Journal's themed issue on Extensive Reading. Professor Paul Nation is an Emeritus Professor of Applied Linguistics in the School of Linguistics and Applied Language Studies at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand. His special interests are on language teaching methodologies and vocabulary acquisition, mainly for English as a Foreign Language. He has taught in many countries including Indonesia, Finland, Japan, Thailand, and the United States. He has published numerous books and articles, including a four-series "Reading for Speed and Fluency" published by Compass Publishing in 2007. He introduced the 'four strands' approach to balance learning opportunities in language courses and classes. Using his vast experience in ELT and language teaching methodology, Professor Paul Nation shares his viewpoints on Extensive Reading in EFL settings, which has gained more attention among teachers and language practitioners whose passion are on reading. This attention has increased especially after the Indonesian Extensive Reading Association (IERA) was established in 2016 with the help of the Extensive Reading Foundation.
