The purpose of this study is to examine whether learning reading in English using the Internet is effective for Korean middle school students. A 4-week reading program was developed and taught through an Internet homepage. A total of 26 students participated in pre-, while-, and post-reading activities with five different types of reading comprehension questions; main idea, reference, details, sentence completion, and inference. The effect of learning through the Internet was analyzed by student questionnaires and reading comprehension tests that were conducted before and after the study. Almost all the students improved in their interest in learning reading and found the use of Internet quite useful probably thanks to diverse use of audio-visual materials, active participation through group works and interactive search of information on the Internet. The posttest result also showed significant improvement when compared to that of the pretest regardless of the question types, students`` pretest scores, overall English proficiency level, and their gender. Based on these results, the Internet-mediated reading program incorporated in this study seemed to have positive effect on the development of young EFL learner``s reading skills and attitude. The Internet is now a part of daily work for most elementary and middle school students in Korea. They have quick access to vast amount of information and their chance of communicating with native English speakers through the Internet is also on the rise. Therefore, if on-line reading materials are used more actively and suitably in classrooms, it could make a very efficient resource for many EFL students.
