It is mainly concerned with the use of extensive reading in order to increase and enhance english students' oral fluency while reading since they defect the absence of reading extensively outside the classroom in order to achieve the characteristics of good fluent readers and understand contexts of the target language. For fulfilling the purpose of this study a descriptive method was conducted. The data is gathered through self completion questionnaires administered to forty five first year LMD students and to fifteen teachers who have been teaching them at the department of english at the university of Larbi Ben M'Hidi, Oum-El-Bouaghi. The obtained results indicate that extensive reading can have a significant role in improving students' oral fluency. These positive results confirm our hypothesis in that foreign language learners need to use extensive reading in order to develop their oral reading fluency, have the ability to build a strong vocabulary, and understand texts easily.enExtensive readingOral reading fluencyOther
