improve comprehension by reading in enjoyment and processing language faster.
Therefore, an extensive reading program called Reading Date was implemented at
an Islamic private university in Yogyakarta. This research was aimed at
investigating the students’ perception on the benefits and challenges in joining the
program. Descriptive qualitative was applied in this research in which the data
were collected from four participants. The participants were one male student and
three female students of English Language Education Department batch 2017 at
an Islamic private university in Yogyakarta. The participants were freshmen when
the program of Reading Date was implemented. In collecting the data, interview

time, making new friends, strengthening friendship, increasing reading speed,
increasing vocabulary mastery, improving grammar knowledge, and getting new

the participants. The challenges include the challenge in time management,
