| Abstract: |
The ability to read in English is now seen as an essential basic skill for all foreign language learners; still, it is thought to be as a demanding and difficult task for them to handle. Due to the complexity of this skill, many students fail to achieve reading comprehension. For this reason, the main focus of this study is to make learners aware of the problems that may encounter while reading; also to suggest some reading strategies in order to help them overcome those problems so that they can achieve full comprehension of reading materials. The hypothesis states that using appropriate strategies and authentic texts would enhance the reading comprehension performance of economics students. To test this hypothesis, a questionnaire was administered to students in order to collect data about their use of reading strategies and their ability to achieve reading comprehension. The data gathered demonstrate that most of students lack of awareness of some important reading strategies. Furthermore, the results reveals that students take long of time to finish what they read, especially when they stumble in unfamiliar vocabulary. |
