Аннотация:
This article explores the development of reading comprehension skills in foreign language learners, focusing on strategies that can improve comprehension. Through a mixed-methods study involving 60 adult learners of English as a foreign language (EFL), the research examines the impact of explicit instruction in reading strategies (such as prediction, summarization, and questioning) on learners' reading comprehension. The study finds that learners who received targeted instruction showed significant improvements in their comprehension scores, enhanced motivation, and greater engagement with reading tasks. The article emphasizes the importance of metacognitive strategies in reading and suggests that such strategies foster more active and independent reading practices. The findings highlight the need for language educators to integrate reading strategies into their teaching practices to support the development of reading comprehension in foreign language learners.
