There has been growing interest in the study of extensive reading in this decade, especially in the area of students' responses by using mobile-assisted language learning (MALL). However, of those studies, only a few explored the effects of assisted learning from the students' internal lens. To fill the gap, this study investigates the students' perceptions of implementing extensive reading through mobile-assisted language learning (MALL) during the Covid-19 pandemic viewed from an internal perspective.

The subjects were students' batch 2019 at English Language Study Program at Lambung Mangkurat University. The researcher used purposive sampling to select 20 students based on specific criteria: students who liked reading or reading for pleasure used mobile devices (smartphones, laptops, PC, and tablets) during the covid-19 pandemic and had experience using reading applications. The study used a qualitative approach that focused on a case study. The instruments were semi-structured interviews and a close-ended questionnaire. The interview data were interpreted in narration, and questionnaire data were interpreted in the table.

Based on the findings, students positively perceive implementing extensive reading through MALL during the Covid-19 pandemic. It was discovered four themes involve enhancement of self-student motivations, encouragement of students' feelings, fulfilling their language needs, and reflecting students' perspectives. This study calls for the inclusion of students to read extensively using mobile devices as a good learning strategy to improve their Language skills. However, they must find ways to overcome the challenges.
