This study aims to examine the reading comprehension challenges faced by biology Master's students within the English for Specific Purposes (ESP) context at M'sila University in Algeria. Employing a mixed-methods approach, we administered a reading comprehension test and conducted qualitative interviews with 50 participants to explore their experiences. We then performed statistical analyses to identify significant trends. The research reveals a significant difference in reading comprehension scores among students with diverse academic backgrounds. Those with a strong foundation in biology outperformed peers with moderate or limited exposure. Our findings highlight the importance of tailored pedagogical strategies that address language barriers while fostering motivation and resilience in ESP learners. Educators and institutions should consider implementing customized approaches to enhance the ESP learning experience. In short, this study provides a holistic understanding of reading comprehension difficulties among biology master's students, offering actionable insights to improve ESP teaching practices. |
