Keywords:
Reading activities, pre-reading, while-reading, post-reading, ESP, language comprehension.Abstract
This article explores the creation of pre-, while-, and post-reading activities in the context of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) and foreign language learning. Drawing on insights from experts in reading comprehension and language pedagogy, this paper examines how these activities can enhance learners’ comprehension, engagement, and retention. Additionally, human insights are integrated to provide practical recommendations for implementing these strategies effectively in classrooms.
