Investigating EFL reading strategies and their practical implementations: a case study of first-year students at TMUB

Abstract EN

This paper discusses how reading in a foreign language is considered one of the most challenging skills for EFL students.

reading comprehension is a complex skill, and numerous EFL students, including those in the department of English at the faculty of letters and foreign languages at Tahri Mohammed university-Bechar, find it difficult.

this study aims to enhance EFL learners' awareness of reading by providing effective techniques to overcome their reading comprehension issues.

this research work posits that first year English students who effectively use these reading strategies will quickly acquire reading comprehension.

to test this hypothesis, participants completed a questionnaire and took part in an interview to provide data on their experiences at the university of Tahri Mohamed, Bechar (UTMB).
