Everyone who has studied a foreign language for any length of time has likely been asked, "Can you read the newspaper?" It's a valid question but, in Japan, many intermediate to advanced university students of English have not yet had this experience. In most cases, after six to eight years of studying, translating, and reading (decoding) English, most college students have never read an English newspaper nor encountered a study environment that encourages it. In spite of the fact that a growing number of university students can read at an intermediate level, teachers who use newspaper materials in class tend to utilize one or two selected articles rather than entire newspapers. This paper presents a structured way to incorporate English language newspapers as one component of a university level reading course. Each module usually requires one-and-a-half to two lessons. In the first lesson students read a newspaper, select an article, and fill out a newspaper summary form. During following lesson, this student-generated material is used for discussion.
