Abstract
The objective of this study is to investigate how English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners at Sukkur IBA University perceive the benefits of the Intensive Reading (IR) approach. A purposive sampling technique was used to choose ten foundation program students for data collection. The researchers gathered data using reflective diaries and semi-structured interviews. Researchers analyzed the data using interpretive methods and thematic analysis techniques. The results showed that students developed positive views of the IR approach. Moreover, they found it fascinating and helpful. Furthermore, students reported a substantial improvement in their language abilities after participating in activities related to the IR approach. The research indicated that teachers could cultivate skilled and independent readers through intensive reading programs. Hence, this reading approach may enable students to reduce their reading difficulties. Additionally, the students thought that using this reading approach was very beneficial. To enhance EFL learners' reading abilities and overall language proficiency, it is suggested that teachers incorporate IR-related exercises into their classroom instruction.
