A passionate advocate for integrating reading into TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language), he specializes in adapting and simplifying graded ESL (English as a Second Language) and EFL (English as a Foreign Language) readers. He has authored several series of English reading course books and is actively promoting the Million-Word Reading Project (MWRP). This initiative encourages elementary-level ESL/EFL learners, with a foundational vocabulary of 1,500 words, to read one million words over two to three years, helping them progress to an upper-intermediate proficiency level with ease. Million-Word Reading Project (MWRP) is a project in which ESL/EFL learners at elementary level (with a basic vocabulary of 1,500 words) are expected to read one million words within two or three years, and reach upper-intermediate level (with a vocabulary of about 3,000-3,500 words). This project contains about 40 simplified readers, enough for an ESL/EFL learner to read for two years, and this list is growing.
