| Abstract: | This master’s thesis examines the implementation of Sustained Silent Reading (SSR) in a Slovenian grammar school, focusing on student perceptions, effectiveness, tools, and material preferences in English (EFL) and German (GFL) classes. Over three weeks, 41 students participated in SSR, with their responses showing strong enjoyment (70% EFL, 60% GFL) but differing views on efficacy, where GFL students reported greater improvements. While SSR had a limited impact on home reading habits and attitude towards reading, smartphones significantly aided comprehension in GFL but distracted EFL learners. Students preferred physical books, particularly paperbacks, and genres like romance and crime. The findings emphasize that SSR was well-received in the new setting but requires much adaptation based on proficiency levels. |
