Abstract
Reading interest, in addition to reading skills, is crucial for students if they want to be successful
readers. The condition of low reading interest among students has been a major issue that needs a
creative follow-up from scholars, teachers and practitioners. This study aims to explore the
development of students’ reading interest in relation to their participation in independent readingretelling
activity as part of independent learning activity in a particular course they took. Seventyfive
students from Faculty and Teacher Training Education of Universitas Lambung Mangkurat,
Indonesia, were involved as the participants in this study. The students took part in independent
reading-retelling activity which requires them to read novels and short stories and retell it to as
well as do sharing session to discuss the stories with their partners. This activity was done out of
course schedule and complemented with a journal entry to track the students’ progress. Without
the purpose of assessing the students, the activity was intended to give students meaningful reading
experience and to grow their reading interest. The encouragement of the lecturer was regularly
given to the students to keep up their reading and retelling. A questionnaire was used to collect
data on their reading interest and their perception on the influence they feel from the activity. This
study showed that the students’ reading interest was at medium level with several positive reading
behaviors. From the students’ perception, the activity has given them positive influence on their
vocabulary growth, reading comprehension, self-quality development, and reading interest.
