The current paper presents the role and benefits of extensive reading (ER) in English language learning and discusses how ER programs can evolve with the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools. We will also take a brief look at EFL teachers’ experiences with ER in Uzbekistan based on small-scale research results and discuss how AI integration can enhance their ER practices. Although extensive reading has existed with its established principles for around thirty years and offers a number of benefits for foreign language learning, it remains an undervalued approach. The appropriate integration of AI in ER programs can leverage ER practices of both teachers and learners. For the effective practice of ER, and sustainable professional development opportunities for EFL teachers, the recommendations are presented in the conclusion section.
